Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas
Hello, my husband was deported 2 years ago and was given the 10 yr. bar. He has no criminal background and was his first time in the U.S. He was about 16 years old when he entered and was in the U.S for 5 years. I am a U.S Citizen and would like to know if I theres any way I can get him a Permanent Residence card without having to wait the 10 years? He has not entered or tried to enter the U.S since he was deported he has been in Mexico since then.

If you have been deported from the United States either voluntarily or forcibly by an Immigration Judge and/or Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") and/or Customs and Border protection ("CBP"), there are many legal mechanisms and methods for you to return to the United States.
For example you can always file a Motion to Reopen or a Motion to Reconsider (even if you are outside the United States) and you can always file petitions that you may be eligible for regardless of whether you are currently outside the USA.
You may also be eligible for a I-601 Hardship Waiver and a Petition to Re-Enter the USA with Form I-212.
Furthermore you may still be able to attack criminal convictions collaterally that resulted in your deportation proceedings and clean up your criminal record.
In some cases if you file a Motion to Reopen or a collateral attack on your Criminal Conviction through a successful Motion to Vacate, you might be able to persuade a Judge to issue you a subpoena so that you can testify personally in your Immigration Proceedings or even in Criminal Court, either federal, state, or local if you can persuade the Judge that your personal testimony is absolutely essential in furtherance of justice.

I have been doing this for more than 11 years and I know what I am doing.
