Once convicted as a felon it stays with you for your life time, it doesn't matter what state you live in. A felon cannot (legally) own any type of gun, touch one or be around them. You can be on your best behavior since charged with a felony, but you are still a felon.... that is the dead albatross one must wear.
If, you buy a gun for him it is known as a 'straw purchase' and you will get in trouble with the law.

In some jurisdictions, possession of a firearm after a Felony Conviction can get him put away for a long time. I would check with a lawyer and consider making an application in the state of Texas to get the conviction looked at and possibly some kind of expungement of his record, be it a pardon or whatever.
Without that, if he gets caught with a firearm, he is pretty much screwed to the wall and a fair target for law enforcement.
