Are you sure it's not a stipulation of his probation that he not possess a weapon? I have never seen a probation order that didn't say that.
In Texas, misdemeanor plea agreements and/or sentence judgements specifically state:
"Federal Gun Control Act and State Law Regarding Possessing Firearms:
A person placed on misdemeanor community supervision is not affected and may continue to legally possess a firearm.
Exceptions: Persons placed on regular community supervision for a domestic violence offense may not possess a firearm until a pardon is received for the crime, the conviction has been expunged or set aside, or the person has had their civil rights restored and is not otherwise prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition."
