Rights of felons in Texas

The State of Texas isn't a mortgage lender or a Landlord... however a felony record will keep you out of most public housing in the country.. and depending on what it was for... many private landlords might choose not to rent to you.

You need to be a LOT more specific with your question.

ScottGem · Jul 10, 2013, 07:11 AM

The state of Texas or any US state for that matter has no say on whether a lender decides to issue a mortgage or not. Same thing with a rental. That is up to the either the lender or landlord.

I've merged your threads. Please don't start a new thread for follow-up questions.

It would also help if you explain in a bit more detail. Have you been refused a loan or rental?

Quite asking repetitive questions... reporting this to site modes for deleteion.

Site rules allow only ONE thread per topic.

smoothy · Jul 10, 2013, 07:14 AM

This is your FOURTH question asking basically the same thing... Site rules permit only ONE thread.

Reporting this to mods for deletion.

I've merged these threads as well, though I'm leaving this as a separate question since its more general. As noted, please stop created multiple threads.

Did you serve your full sentence? If you were released on probation, your PO should have explained this to you. However, if you have served your full time and been released, I think the only right you lose is the right to vote. Otherwise you would have the same rights as any other citizen.

Firearms as well... Not sure if this is what you're looking for but convicted felons cannot legally own or touch a firearm.

I don't think they know how to check their answers because they have asked this 6 times and I reported the last five... and they haven't answered yet.

Convicted felon is redundant. Felon is all that is needed.
A felon is going to have a tough time at first getting either a mortgage or a rental, but not because of state or federal laws. Because a felon won't have the steady income requirements of all lenders and most landlords. Half way houses, friends, or relatives for a while are often the only option.

My answer is kind of out of place now that it's all merged and seems to be geared more towards rentals and mortgages. I was answering the one about what rights do felons lose... oh well... that's what happens when you ask 37 similar questions.

Easy enough to figure out. I wouldn't worry.

I noticed on another question recently that 2 felons can't marry each other without permission! Never knew that before, assuming it's true.

Hello joy:

It's kind of true... While either of them are under supervision, they are precluded from associating with other felons.. But, once they're DONE, wedding bells can ring.
