What happens following the event when someone is found to have illegal possession of a firearm in Lubbock will ultimately depend on the specific offense. But penalties can vary. If it is an unlawful carrying of a weapon. That is a Class A misdemeanor that can carry up to one year in the county jail or $4,000 fine. A person could be placed on probation for up to two years. That would eliminate their right to get a concealed handgun license for 10 years.
If an individual is charged with a violation of a concealed handgun, is a felon in possession. Or is on a deferred adjudication, that can be a third-degree felony. Or higher if that person has prior felony convictions. A third-degree felony could subject a person to a penitentiary trip of not less than two years. But not more than 10 years in the penitentiary and up to a $10,000 fine.
