    Gun laws for non-citizens - Texas
    Hi,

    I am a resident alien (green-card holder) in the state of Texas. I have been living here for nearly a year now and I am wondering whether I can own a firearm and / or get a concealed handgun license.
    I have seen several pages that indicated that gun-ownership for green-card holders is legal. I am however not for certain.
    Does anybody know the legal details?

    Thank you.
    Janet
