No, I moved here from PA (I have a PA CHL) about a year ago but just got around to getting a Texas DL a few weeks ago, so now I'm getting my Texas CHL taken care of.

question, were you born in TX or another state? I am asking because mine still in process I submitted my paperwork on 12/20/14, I was born in Illinois so I am wondering if that has something to do with why is taking longer than other people.

Hey everybody. Just joined the forum.

January 2014 - CHL Class (CHL 100 should be good for two years; couldn't find anything in the laws to confirm that but the instructor told me it's valid for two years)
1/10/2015 - CHL application submitted online
1/15/2015 - fingerprints
1/15/2015 - CHL 100 sent to DPS online

Note: I was adjudicated for felony grade delinquent conduct in August of 2004; the charge was possession of a controlled substance on school property. It's been about 10 and a half years since the adjudication. I purposely waited till after August 2014 to submit my app.

I didn't disclose what happened because it's been over 10 years since the adjudication and my records are sealed. I had no issue getting a professional license through one of Texas' certification boards; I didn't disclose what happened on that application either. I'm not requred to disclose that info under section 58.001(j) of the Texas Family Code.

Called today and was told that my license had been accepted and moved along to printing and to allow about two more weeks!!!!

Checked this more and had a change of status!!!

I am by no means an expert, but deferred adjudication much be disclosed in the state of Texas as it is considered the same as a "conviction". From my understanding, any arrest should be disclosed and if you were fingerprinted (regardless if the record is sealed), the prints and information will be in the FBI database regardless if it is sealed or not. "Sealed" really means sealed from general public and employers. If the Federal agencies need to see, they have ready access.

I got into trouble 30 years ago and got deferred adjudication where my records were "sealed". I had to get a security clearance for work about 20 years ago and low and behold, during my interview with the NSA, the issue came up. It didn't prevent me from getting clearance nor did it prevent me from getting my CHL in Texas recently (although I did disclose and provide disposition documents) but the Federal government did have access to that information. So I hope everything works out!
