Reference staff at the State Law Library in Austin have compiled a list of Texas statutes concerning the activities of convicted felons. We think this list will be useful for all who work in law enforcement, the criminal justice system, the juvenile justice system, for anyone who works with youth, especially those at risk, for public and school librarians, teachers, counselors, and advisors.

Over 160 Texas statutes, many in the Occupations Code, restrict the actions and activities of convicted felons. What future jobs might be affected? Statutes for risk managers, interior designers, funeral home directors, and the occupations of law enforcement officer, security officer, and public official are among the many areas not available to convicted felons.
