I immediately sent CHL back
I'm just looking at other avenues

Thank

JWS,

Do you still have the letter from the DPS that says three years? I'm not an attorney and I highly recommend you consult one that is familiar with TX gun laws. Since it has been three years since you got the DPS letter, why not reapply, attach the letter showing you have waited the required three years?

Perhaps because of the non-refundable fee if he's not eligible?

So a question and scenario , let say you are driving down the road with your tunes blaring and you are stopped for loud and unreasonable noise and receive a citation, you plea NOLO and pay a fine, under 42.01 , your CHL would also be revoked.
Under my circumstances if I would have taken a plea for class C assault and paid a fine I could have kept my CHL
I'm the one that stated I would not take an assault and suggested the disorderly. The DA wanted this action cleared off his docket rather quickly and even said w want this to go away.

The circumstances was I was in law enforcement, have over 20 years in, I walked into my house and two grown siblings were physically fighting and I separated them and got the one causing the trouble out the door and the problem was stopped.
My suggestion is to talk to a lawyer -- preferably one familiar with Texas gun laws, regarding to getting the offense expunged, etc.

42.01 is unconstitutional under the 1stA. Since the "feel of peace" of the audience is not a cause to sensor the actor.
As TAM said, it is what it is.

It is believed that 42.01 is actionable as a class C because there are a couple of firearms-related clauses in that code section.
