Weapons Charges

Travis County Weapons Charge Attorney

Tell us about your case.

The distinctions between legal weapons and illegal weapons are not well-known by most people. As a result, individuals dealing with something as simple as a traffic stop can suddenly find themselves sitting in jail on a felony weapons charge. If you have been charged with a weapons violation, contact our law firm for a free consultation and an honest evaluation of your case.

At Bristol Myers & Associates, P.C., we handle weapons offenses in state and federal courtrooms throughout Texas and provide our clients with diligent and dedicated legal representation concerning charges such as:

• Possession of an illegal firearm (automatic weapon, sawed off shotgun, et al.)
• Conceal and carry license violations
• Unlawfully carrying a weapon
• Unlawful brandishing or discharging a weapon
• Trafficking in illegal firearms
• Possession of stolen or unregistered weapons
• Felon in possession of a firearm
• Possession of explosive devices
• Federal weapons charges

How the weapons were obtained by police is often at the heart of these cases. The United States and Texas Constitutions both protect people from unreasonable searches and seizures. This fundamental liberty is enforced through the "Exclusionary Rule" which states that items (including weapons) found by way of an illegal search or seizure may not be used at trial against the person who suffered the illegal search or seizure.

If the search and seizure cannot be challenged, we thoroughly review the evidence, registration, and ownership records, and carefully examine the possibility of defending the case on questions of actual possession. Whatever the specific facts of your case are, you can count on the fact that we do not take a cookie-cutter approach to defending our clients in any case.
