So It looks like the max for that charge is 1 year. So the real question is what does it mean to be "Truly Dismissed". The county record states dismissed (screenshot above), when I called county records in Virginia they tell me it shows as dismissed. How do I figure this out?

IMO dismissed means that the case has been adjudicated, not that the actual charges were dismissed.

If the charges were "truly dismissed" that would have been prior to your nolo contendre [guilty] plea and sentencing.

In other words, you have been convicted of a crime.

I defer to Charles, as he is an attorney, and I am not.

And Mr. Cotton has forgot more about these situations than most of us has ever known concerning our CHL laws.

Only DPS can give you a firm yes/no and I never heard of them giving a firm yes without an application and fee.

Ask ten people and get a dozen opinions. Here's one more. I think you have to wait until December because your arrangement sounds like deferred adjudication.

There was never an official "Writ of deferred adjudication filed" to my knowledge, there could of been unknown to me, but yes I do believe it technically was.
