The brief

Your case gets direct attention.

A weapons charge can affect your freedom, criminal record, and future right to possess a firearm. Lawful gun ownership does not mean a firearm was used in a crime.

Your first conversation

Common questions

Before you decide.

General information. Your circumstances require individual advice from an attorney.

Does permitless carry mean every situation is lawful?

No. The Texas State Law Library explains that eligibility, location, and the manner of carrying can affect legality, and federal restrictions may also apply. The attorney needs the precise allegation and circumstances rather than a general assumption about permitless carry.

What kinds of weapon charges does the firm handle?

The firm handles unlawful carrying, prohibited possession, possession connected to another alleged offense, and other weapons accusations. Claudia Lopez protects clients' Second Amendment rights while reviewing the charge and evidence individually.
