CHL eligible ?

[chuck j]

A man I work with got an evading arrest from a Highway patrol . He has nothing but a couple of speeding tickets on his record . This happened 22 years ago , would it be worth his time to apply for a CHL ?

Depends on the actual charge. If it was felony evading, then possibly no. If it was just a misdemeanor, then shouldn't be any issue.

I'll tell him . He said he was speeding and a Highway patrol followed him a half mile with his lights on , he pulled over and didn't offer any resistance and was taken to jail , got a speeding ticket and evading . He was 20 years old at the time .

It was more than likely a class B misdemeanor, so should be OK. Here is the statute http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/txstatutes/PE/8/38/38.04" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

He will still need to list it on the application and send in documentation for the disposition of the arrest.

His starting point has to be contacting the Clerk of Courts for the county where this happened and get a copy of the actual record. It will list the exact charge and disposition. He is going to need these court records anyway if he applies, so get the information first.
