Texas LTC treats deferred adjudication as a conviction for purposes of a LTC.AdanAndres wrote:I'm a bit confused and please forgive my lack of knowledge on the subject but assuming you get arrested for DV but not convicted of it meaning released no jail time .. Does that still disqualify you for a LTC ?
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.
