What “UNL CARRY WEAPON W/ MISD FV CONV” means
Texas Penal Code § 46.02(a-7) makes it an offense to intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carry a handgun — away from the person's own premises and not inside or en route to the person's own vehicle or watercraft — while prohibited from possessing a firearm under Texas Penal Code § 46.04. This charge is graded by § 46.02(e)(2), the third-degree felony variant, which applies when the prohibition arose under § 46.04(b) or (c). Section 46.04(b) bars firearm possession by a person convicted of a Class A misdemeanor assault involving a member of the person's family or household — the misdemeanor family violence conviction named in the court label — for five years after release from confinement or community supervision; § 46.04(c) bars possession by a person under an active protective order after notice of it. The State must prove the carrying, the location element, and the disqualifying status.
