I've got the same question differently?

Post by Jerry43 »

Long short of it. 20yrs ago DUI conviction......8 yrs ago two Assaults with bodily injury charges both deferred adjudication. Completed both deferreds to dismissed. Does anyone think I'm eligible for a chl? You guys are the experts and as stated in a Dirty Harry movie "I gots to know"

What is the grade of convictions and the deferrals (considered convictions for the purpose of CHL).

Have you done a self check to determine if you should even be carrying a weapon? Sounds like you some issues that need resolving first.

You would have to wait 10 yrs after deferred adjudication, but felony offenses against persons (Title 5) would disqualify you.


GC § 411.1711. CERTAIN EXEMPTIONS FROM CONVICTIONS. A person is not convicted, as that term is defined by Section 411.171, if an order of deferred adjudication was entered against the person on a date not less than 10 years preceding the date of the person’s application for a license under this subchapter unless the order of deferred adjudication was entered against the person for:
(1) a felony offense under:
(A) Title 5, Penal Code;
(B) Chapter 29, Penal Code;
(C) Section 25.07 or 25.072, Penal Code; or
(D) Section 30.02, Penal Code, if the offense is punishable under Subsection (c)(2) or (d) of that section; or
(2) an offense under the laws of another state if the offense contains elements that are substantially similar to the elements of an offense listed in Subdivision (1).
