The Presence of a Firearm Does Not Automatically Prove a Crime.
- ARRESTED ON A GUN OR WEAPONS CHARGE?
Texas has extensive firearm laws, but firearm possession is not lawful in every circumstance.
Whether a gun was discovered in your vehicle, found near you during a police investigation, or allegedly possessed in a prohibited location, a weapons charge deserves careful legal attention.
At The Khari Firm, we investigate the circumstances of your arrest and examine whether the prosecution can establish every required element of the offense.

What If the Gun Wasn't Yours?
A firearm found inside a vehicle does not automatically establish that every occupant possessed it.
Depending on the charge, the State may have to establish knowing possession or other specific elements.
We examine ownership, access, control, witness statements, and the location of the firearm.

Depending on the charge, the State may have to establish knowing possession or other specific elements.
