Can a ex-felon get a concealed permit in tx to carry a hand gun?

It depends on what you mean by "ex" felon. Generally speaking, there is no such thing as an ex felon. People typically used the term ex-felon to mean someone who is no longer in prison, but the person still a felon. If a person has a felony on his record, he cannot legally own or even possess a firearm, and no state will issue a gun permit to him. The exception to that is a felon who has had his rights restored. This is something you have to request through a legal process, so if that has happened, the felon will know it.

Ca hunting laws for felons?

Ask your PO, but I don't believe convicted felons (even if not on parole) are allowed to carry (or even be in the presence of) firearms. Not Exactly: Felons are allowed hunting licenses. A felon without rights restored may use a bow or crossbow. A felon with rights restored may use a modern gun. Some felonies can be redesignated misdemeanors, too. Possesion is two fold. A felon, rights not restored, may not be in actual possesion, that is, holding touching; actual control of a firearm. Being around others in control of theirs or at a gunshow is OK. There is no "minmum distance" like in a restraining order. There was some discussion whether a muzzle loader may be used, as it isn't a firearm by federal law, but this is up in the air. It was legal in TX for a while. Refs: "restore your rights and own a gun", my state's law, federal law. Going thru restoration process right now.
