We ain't going to Walmart tonight, but we are about to go to Braums..
Does ...

Yes I was.. I had a hiccup in my past.. I sent in all disposition papers with it.. So I knew (hoped) it was just a matter of time and review.. Being as patient as I am, it was no big deal at all.. (tongue in cheek of course).

Status online still shows processing.. A call to DPS this morning I learned

Well, after being told last Tuesday the 22nd, that my app was in legal review, I called yesterday (3-28-10) to get a status. They transferred me to the legal department. I spoke to the legal secretary who told me that they had just received my packet on Friday the 26th.. (3 day gap?).
The nice lady ...

Texas is full of Political Subdivisions that are still private businesses.. Water companies, Special Utility Districts, river authorities, etc..
Scott,are you saying that they have no right to post 30.06, since they're a political subdivision?
If it's posted, I will darn sure not be the test case...

My apologies ScottDLS,
I thought you were saying that the case had to 10 years old AND set aside, or 5 years old (if a misdemeanor) regardless of set aside or not.. My mistake..

One glimmer of hope is this - IF the case was in Dallas County, they have a tendency to set all D.A.s aside.. One can ...

So, really - who to call? What is the real deal with the tax office? And the BCAD has HUGE 30.06 signs up - can that be legal? (and the employees are rude - I held the door open for one and she didn't say, "thank you". What has happened to society?)
If I am not mistaken, appraisal districts are ...

ScottDLS,
I beg to differ sir.. Please review the efollowing quote from house bill 2730, enacted in 2009:
(4)"Convicted" means an adjudication of guilt or,
except as provided in Section 411.1711, an order of deferred
adjudication entered against a person by a court of competent
jurisdiction whether ...

wife got plastic today woo hoo !
If you've been following any of my posts, you may know that I had a hiccup in my background. but I was fully prepared, and sent in all paperwork with my application, to get it approved on the first run.. Well this morning, I emailed the famous "Rene" for a true ...

checked mine and wife's before bed last night and still processing... Checked this morning at 7:00 and hers has those glorious words "certificate issued license active".. Still waiting on mine.. Hopefully soon!!

Hey guys and gals, Malibu Speed Zone in Dallas is an amusement park of sorts.. By their own admission (signs posted everywhere describing the place) it's only 12 acres. I believe the state's definition of an amusement park is at least 50 acres...
This is the only sign on the doors. So I wonder if it ...

LIES! We'll see what happens, however lots of people have been taking about 4 weeks this lately. As far as your "criminal" history only you know the facts behind that.

It was a deferred adjudication from 2002. I did the community supervision (half of sentenced) then my lawyer got the case ...

GRRRRRRRR :mad5
Called today (and not so helpful) lady told me: "okay, it looks like we got your application on 2-18-10. Right now, we're running about 2-3 months. Since yours had something in your criminal history, it's likely to take 3-6 months to get your license as long as everything checks out ...

I would suspect that since there was history between homeowner and victim, they must take the side of caution and file charges.
I would also suspect that although previously knowing the victim adds some grey area, that he'll also be cleared..
This goes to show us all that there will always be bad ...

interesting info found out today
I sent in packet on 2-16-10... Money orders cashed few days later, pins received 3-3-10. Mine and wife's were all together, received pins same day in the mail.
I had a deferred adjudication in my past, but sent in certified disposition from court clerk and all with ...
