25 years ago, the felony limit was $250. You were $2 over.mary... the cat lady wrote:That amount is not now a felony, but in 1983 I guess it was, because that is what I was charged with.
You will need see what your record shows. Could you have possibly gotten a deferred adjudication since you served parole? It may have been expunged from your record. That may have been what they meant by being able to get your gun rights back. I am not a lawyer and not near as smart on the legal side of this as some here, but you need to find out what your record shows now. The county in which you were charged should be able to help with that. If it still shows a felony conviction, you might consult a lawyer and see if there is any way to get it expunged and cleared.
Good luck!
