Firearm Charge Defense Lawyer
in Fort Bend County

Facing a firearm charge in Texas?

Whether you’ve been arrested for unlawful possession, illegal discharge, or carrying a weapon in a prohibited location, firearm charges are taken seriously by prosecutors. At The Law Office of Ross Torres, we understand the high stakes involved and are prepared to aggressively defend your rights.

Understanding Texas Gun Laws

Texas may be known for its gun-friendly culture, but firearm offenses still carry severe legal consequences. Common firearm-related charges in Fort Bend County and across Texas include:

• Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon (UCW)

• Felon in Possession of a Firearm

• Possession of a Firearm in a Prohibited Place

• Unlawful Discharge of a Firearm

• Firearm Possession During Commission of a Crime

Depending on the circumstances, these offenses can be charged as misdemeanors or felonies—potentially resulting in jail time, hefty fines, and a permanent criminal record.

Defending Against Firearm Charges

Ross Torres builds a personalized defense strategy for each client, challenging the facts, legality of the search, and intent. Common defense approaches include:

• Lack of knowledge that the weapon was present

• Illegal search and seizure under the Fourth Amendment

• Mistaken identity or weak evidence

• Valid concealed carry license or constitutional carry defense

No matter the charge, we work to reduce or dismiss the charges and protect your right to bear arms.
