Yes. I don't know that you will, but you can. It would have a lot to do with the type of felony. Just by way of contrast, if it were a very recent child-related felony, you would probably lose. If it were felony theft that you comitted 30 years ago, I wouldn't expect it to have much impact on your chances. I'm sure your issue is somewhere between those two extremes.
You will need to consult with and hire a good family law attorney. If you don't think you can afford one, please contact the Texas Legal Services Center (www.tlsc.org) and they will try to refer you to a good attorney who will take your case at a significant discount.
Good luck!!
