Sounds like you are good to go. Congrats. :clapping:

Now, you just have to take the class, file the papers, and then wait, and wait and wait...... :roll: :lol:

Hang in there, it will be here quicker than you know. :thumbs2:

Thanks! I'm heading down to Austin this weekend to take the class with my wife, brother, sister, brother-in-law and a few friends. I'm Really looking forward to it and have shot over 300 rounds in the past 2 weekends in preparation for it!

Keith B wrote:KBCraig quoted federal law, which is why you would not be in violation for purchasing a firearm. As Steve stated, Texas is MUCH different in their interpretation.
The most important distinction would be that if he had a DV conviction by Texas standards, it would only mean that he might not get his CHL. No crime, just a denial.

If he had a DV conviction by federal standards, it would be a felony for him to purchase or possess any firearm or even a single round of ammunition.
