Is it legal for a private citizen in the state of Texas to use hollow point ammunition in his home defense revolver? My cousin who moved to Texas several years ago has expressed his concerns about this to me. I do not live in Texas and have no idea how to find and answer to this in the Texas legal codes. Can he keep it loaded with the hollow points he currently has or does he need to find some non-hollow point ammunition?
He also has a 12 gauge pump gun so he is not relying only on his revolver.
I hope he never has need for either of the above, but while unlikely, I would hate to see him get into trouble if the occasion comes up, for using the wrong ammo.
I don't know if it makes any difference, but he lives in a suburb just north of Dallas. I am not sure what county that would be.
Thanks in advance to any and all who can shed some light on this subject.
