If convicted of a felony, will a change in Texas law that no longer classifies it as a felony change the conviction?

In Texas, a felony conviction remains unchanged, even if the law later reclassifies the offense in a way that would make it no longer a felony. Once a person has been convicted of a felony, that judgment is final and upheld by the legal system. Changes in law do not retroactively alter the status of past convictions.

That said, it is important to note the various ways in which individuals could potentially appeal or seek expungement for convictions, but these routes are not guaranteed and typically require formal processes, such as applications to the court. However, simply changing the law does not provide an automatic means of altering an existing conviction.
