Am I eligible for CHL
I recently completed my deffered adjudication probation for a class A misdemeanor possession of marijuana charge. Can I acquire my CHL? I already paid and took the class, I don't want to lose out on another 140... I saw that some deffered adjudications are okay to have but I can't find the specific list.

So my certificate is no good then? Is there an expiration date? Also if I expunge it will that make me eligible?

Your certificate is good for 2 Years. if you expunged the charge or got an order of non-disclosure you’d be ok. I’m assuming this was in Texas.

Yes in Texas, so my best bet for now is to apply for a FL non resident?

Getting it expunged should make you eligible for a Texas CHL and might help in job searches.jlg333 wrote:Yes in Texas, so my best bet for now is to apply for a FL non resident?
You can try Florida but be aware of some possible reasons for Ineligibility.
* A conviction for violation of controlled substance laws or multiple arrests for such offenses.
* A record of drug or alcohol abuse.
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Re: Am I eligible for CHL
It's a deffered adjudication so not technically a conviction. I know that as far as Texas goes, they see deffered adjudications as a conviction. Does Florida do this as well? And it's my only charge ever, this is the only thing on my record.ninjabread wrote:Getting it expunged should make you eligible for a Texas CHL and might help in job searches.jlg333 wrote:Yes in Texas, so my best bet for now is to apply for a FL non resident?

Get an Arizona while you see if you can get it expunged. They’ll take you texas chl class as proof of training.
