The Possession of a Weapon

The charge could be related to finding weapon in your possession or in your vehicle or home or on other property that you own or control . A Houston criminal defense attorney can evaluate your criminal charges and advise you as to the best course of action for your defense.

Carrying a weapon or having one in your possession with a permit can be deemed a felony.
