Re: Disqualified for CHL because of change in the law?
Im rather embarrassed; it was a college prank so long ago id rather keep it buried. It wasn't viloent, or anything, just a really stupid dare; and to keep the story short it was deferred as a felony. It ruined my aspirations for law school.Charles L.

I was defferred ajudicated in 91 does this mean I'll be carrying illegally after Sept 1 2009 if the House passes the bill? unless I find a lawyer to seal my record? Geez ..

SB1424 does a number of very good things. What I'm focusing on for witnesses are people who were convicted of a misdemeanor and were eligible for a CHL after 5 years, but are not not eligible because the offense was upgraded to a felony. For example, certain assaults used to be misdemeanors and are now felonies. This catch 22 has caused a problem for some people who held a CHL for years, but became ineligible because of a change in the law.
What was your deferral for?
Chas.
In any case Im thouroughly confused now; Back in 2005 the laws changed the definition of "convicted" to not include defferred ajudication. Or longer than 5 years. Has that all changed?
From what I read here http://www.legis.state.tx.us/tlodocs/81 ... 01424I.pdf Am I still ok under "Section 4"?
