That's sheer will power right there! I will admit I did check back once more to make sure it wasn't a mistake.

First status update this morning!

I called and spoke to someone at the DPS yesterday and they said a misdemeanor DV charge does not automatically disqualify you. They said since my conviction was deferred and set aside in 2006 it would definitely fall under the 5 year rule and I would qualify if I were to apply. I will do just that ...

It is going to depend on what the charge for the offense would be in Texas, not Louisiana. GC §411.172. ELIGIBILITY. (a) A person is eligible for a license to carry a concealed handgun if the person: (1) is a legal resident of this state for the six-month period preceding the date of application un...

The problem is this was a domestic violence offense which is a permanent disqualification. As stated, you need to look into getting this officially expunged from your record. It seems this would disqualify me then. I spoke to the clerk of court again and I can get the arrest expunged but it will on...

His deferral only makes him ineligible if it was a felony, right? That is why I asked him about the potential penalty had he been convicted. If he could have been given over a year, then Texas treats it like a felony. A deferred adjudication counts as a conviction for at least 10 years, but if the ...

I can't recommend, however the board owner Charles may be able to refer you. Before you go that route: Your 894 equates to a deferral in Texas and the deferral makes you ineligible per Texas law, my advice would be to seek expungement in Louisiana. Note, I'm not an attorney. I'm not sure that you c...

Would anyone be able to recommend a Texas lawyer who specializes in these type of CHL issues?

Thanks for the responses. Like suggested I will probably have to consult a lawyer. From researching more online Article 894 is basically a expungment of the conviction but not the arrest. Apparently that's why there is no disposition available anywhere, not sure if this makes a difference to the DPS...

If I recall correctly I plead Article 894. I did do a period of probation but I don't recall how long it was. From what I understood Article 894 is pretty much the same thing as being expunged. Clerk of Court in Louisiana said the arrest should not show on the FBI report, but it's there. Something i...
