I assume the son was charged with a crime.

Once the judge says in open court, that you have completed your probation, and says your felony is dismissed, you can then have all of your civil disabilities returned.
I would get a certified copy of the dismissal, before I would get a gun.

A Felony warrant is a problem. If a police officer pulls you over, and runs a warrant check, if it shows up, they will arrest you. What's worse, is that they will hold you until they extradite you to MA. If you get a good TX attorney, they can work it out for you with an MA attorney. My office... View More
