My daughter is on probation for a drug possession felony (Texas). As she lives in my home is there an issue with me owning or legally carrying a firearm?

I would not own a firearm if someone in the house is a convicted felon. While YOU can legally own one, she cannot. Since she lives in the house and has access to everything in the house, that means she could be in constructive possession of the firearm. Additionally, if she ever was caught with the firearm, you could face charges for allowing her access to it knowing that she's a convicted felon.

By law, you must have it stored in such a way that it is inaccessible to her. You will need a safe, at a minimum. Your best bet is finding somewhere else to store it until she moves out.

As G. Gordon Liddy says, "I can't own a firearm, but my wife has a very large collection."
As was stated as long as you take reasonable precautions to prevent her from having access to your firearms there shouldn't be a problem, with you.But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
Translation for the intellectually challenged: If the government screws the people too much, it is the right and duty of the people to revolt and form a new government.
