I have a felony back in 1984. I want to purchase a gun what can I do to pass the background check.

Unfortunately, if you have a felony conviction you will never pass a background check to purchase a firearm. In TX, after a felony conviction, you may ONLY possess a firearm where you live, and no other location - and you may only legally keep a firearm at your home (under TX law) 5 years after being released from prison or parole. See Texas Penal Code Chapter 46. You still cannot legally purchase a firearm, transport a firearm, hunt, or go to the shooting range - you can ONLY possess the weapon where you live. This becomes confusing because under Federal law, it remains illegal for a felon to possess a firearm, even when TX allows you to possess it in your home. I suggest looking into a cross-bow, not a firearm... Good luck

Can prospective employers view past felonies in Texas?

Depends on what program they use to check. Most use public data, so run your record there. and it depends if they don't hire convicted felons. Lots of convicted felons out there with jobs.
