    He didn't say he was a 5-time Felon! He said he was convicted
    of a single 5TH DEGREE FELONY! Texas has the same system,
    except they only go to 3RD Degree. If he had 5 felonies
    anywhere, he would be writing from prison under the Three
    Strikes, You're Out statutes!

    Other than that, the advice to contact an attorney is good!
