Actually, he can be around her all he wants. After 5 years from the date which he is released or isno longer on parole, probation, or any type of public supervision(whichever is later), he can even possess one in his home, but not anywhere else.
Sec.46.04.UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF FIREARM. (a)A person who has been convicted of a felony commits an offense if he possesses a firearm:
(1)after conviction and before the fifth anniversary of the person's release from confinement following conviction of the felony or the person's release from supervision under community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision, whichever date is later; or
(2)after the period described by Subdivision (1), at any location other than the premises at which the person lives.
Sec.46.06.UNLAWFUL TRANSFER OF CERTAIN WEAPONS. (a)A person commits an offense if the person:
(1)sells, rents, leases, loans, or gives a handgun to any person knowing that the person to whom the handgun is to be delivered intends to use it unlawfully or in the commission of an unlawful act;
(2)intentionally or knowingly sells, rents, leases, or gives or offers to sell, rent, lease, or give to any child younger than 18 years any firearm, club, or illegal knife;
(3)intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly sells a firearm or ammunition for a firearm to any person who is intoxicated;
(4)knowingly sells a firearm or ammunition for a firearm to any person who has been convicted of a felony before the fifth anniversary of the later of the following dates:
(A)the person's release from confinement following conviction of the felony; or
(B)the person's release from supervision under community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision following conviction of the felony;
Sec.46.06(4) does not mention anything other than sell to a felon. Sec.46.06(1) mentionsany type of transferbecause if you hand a known felon a firearm, you know he is going to use it in a crime, because his mere possession is a crime, and once you hand it to him, he is committing the crime.
Federal law not withstanding, above is Texas Penal Code.
