As long as you are not convicted and aren't placed on deferred adjudication. Texas LTC treats deferred adjudication as a conviction for purposes of a LTC.
Not true.
If you are placed on deferred adjudication you will have to wait 5-10yrs (?) before you can get a LTC.

Back in 2003 I was going through an ugly divorce and my vindictive ex-wife filed false DV charges against me.
Without going into details - I took Deferred Adjudication for a misdemeanor A DV charge on poor advice from my lawyer (you get what you pay for).
Never been in any kind of trouble before or since.

Fast forward to 2015 - I decided to apply for my CHL not knowing if I would be able to get it or not.
Submitted my paperwork and 4 weeks later I had my plastic.

If you did take deferred adjudication, you will have to wait the required amount of time before applying for your CHL/LTC.
