This was over 20 years ago.
Was it some local charge? I was a cop 20 years ago, and there was no such state law.

Regardless, it was a LONNNNNNG time ago, an should not be an issue for you. Hope you get your license quickly.
I know this is an old post, but I have a question txinvestigator. Are you saying "it was a long time ago, so don't put it on your app", or "it was a long time ago, and put it on your app, but it won't matter".

I am actually facing this same problem of finding all of my history re: arrests. They were all for failure to appear for speeding tickets, and all happened around 10 years ago when I was young and stupid.

I sent off for criminal history from Austin via DPS regional office and a fingerprint card. It came back as "No Criminal Record".

thanks, you seem to know alot about this
Failure to disclose will result in a denial and 2 years before you can reapply.

Misdemeanors will only keep you from getting your license for 5 years from the date of conviction.

Put everything you can remember on your app.

Where do I get the info so I can list these on my app?
For charges filed in a Municipal or JP court you would find the records there.

For the failure to appear, it would depend upon what charge you failed to appear. If it was a traffic ticket, then the Municipal or JP court. If it was for another charge, then I would look at the County Clerk's office.

1 or 2 times by Village Police department (Poss of Unlawful weapon and maybe a failure to appear) actually booked and fingerprinted at Harris County jail
There is no charge in Texas of Possession of an unlawful weapon. Perhaps you were charged with Unlawful Carrying a Weapon. If it was for carrying an illegal knife, well that charge is a Class A Misdemeanor. You would find that disposition at the County Clerks office.
