Update: Everything good to go. Print pending. The official answer is deferred prosecution means absolutely nothing in terms of a criminal record :)
Edit: They didn't even ask for paperwork for this case, only my adult cases.

Well I'm going to be shooting my new revolver instead of a semi-auto. I hope they let me shoot single action the entire time ;)

I already submitted the form online. I'm taking the class Saturday. Once i get the class paperwork, I will upload the documents together. This should be OK, right?

They didn't ask for them at any point during the application process. I should note I filled it out online. Definitely didn't see anywhere during the process that I needed to mail copies. Also wasn't in my email checklist. I'm assuming this is just to speed the process up? I guess I could mail copies of the dispositions to Austin.

Listed everything I could find a record on. Prints submitted. Class on Saturday. Will let you guys know the final outcome when I receive it.

Haha. How do you know?

I honestly wonder why we have to list all of this stuff when they can just look it up anyways -.-.

I had a copy of the file at one point years ago but lost it. I believe everything was thrown out and dismissed. I never went to trial. I just went before the judge and promised to be a good boy basically. We'll find out when I get the official record. I didn't even go to a courtroom. The judge took me in his office and sat me down with my parents.

To be clear, this happened when I was 14. It was an assault charge and I got DEFERRED PROSECUTION. This is NOT the same as deferred adjudication. I fly through NICS background checks in seconds and have nothing else on my record. This never shows up anywhere. To the best of my knowledge it is not on my criminal record and has never stopped me from doing anything. The only way I was able to even gain access to it was to verify my identity and the county clerk could hardly find the file.

1. Would I have to list this on the application form?
2. Would it disqualify me?
3. Do I have to list class C misdemeanor traffic violations? (Happened over 5 years ago).

Again, this is in no way legally the same as deferred adjudication. As a concept it definitely exists in Texas and is definitely not a conviction.
As far am I'm aware, I have to provide documentation of any and all "crimes" ever committed.
