A felon cannot get a hazmat endorsement anywhere in the US. This is a federal matter, and does not vary between states. Beginning in 2005, a TSA background check and fingerprinting became required for a hazmat endorsement. This was in response to both the September 11th attacks and the theft of two propane tankers (later recovered) in Texas which were feared to have been stolen for the purpose of a terrorist attack (although someone who'll steal a propane tanker isn't likely to care about having an endorsement or not).
A convicted felon can get a CDL (but they can't get a hazmat endorsement). However, they would be best advised to ensure that they've found employers who would be willing to hire them once they obtained a CDL.
