Jay Cohen, from Blass Law, discusses the law in Texas regarding a person's eligibility to vote if they have been convicted of a felony. A person who is accused, charged, or even on deferred adjucation probation, has not been convicted of a felony and is eligible to vote. A person who has been convicted of a felony is qualified to vote once their sentence is fully discharged. A sentence is fully discharged when they have completed any term of incarceration, parole, or supervision, or completed a period of probation ordered by any court. Once a sentence has been discharged, the person must register or re-register to vote.
