Return to “Anyone use Sean Cody for a Trust?”
Just for clarification: An attorney cannot hold himself out as a specialist, or as having special expertise, in any area of law, unless 1) the State Bar of Texas recognizes and certifies attorneys in that area of law; and 2) the attorney has applied for and received certification in that special area of law.LittleGun wrote:Sean Cody did my trust. On something as serious as NFA stuff, I wanted a specialist.

Q: What can happen to someone who has an NFA firearm which is not registered to him?
Violators may be fined not more than $250,000, and imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both. In addition, any vessel, vehicle or aircraft used to transport, conceal or possess an unregistered NFA firearm is subject to seizure and forfeiture, as is the weapon itself.
[49 U.S.C. 781-788, 26 U.S.C. 5861 and 5872]
Unless someone can verify that the above is not the case, that's what I'm going by. Prosecuted or not.
