Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Your question is not specific enough to answer.

What does "repeat felon" mean? Has the person been sent to prison in the past? If so, then how many times?

I could envision a potential indictment charging the offense with enhancement allegations that would create a range of punishment of 25 years minimum to life maximum. On the other hand, deadly conduct may in some instances only qualify as a misdemeanor, with a one year maximum. It all depends on the person's criminal record, the prosecutor's choices in drafting the charge, and their ability to prove what they charge.

Your question is too unspecific to provide an answer, but there is another possible issue: it can be both a state and federal felony for a convicted felon to possess a firearm. Felon in possession of a firearm is possibly an additional worry.
