I recently submitted my CHL along with a friend's. He believes that he is eligible, but I am not so sure. He had a possession felony that was reduced to a class A misdemeanor and he received deferred adjudication. It was 7 years ago. Is he still eligible?Charles L. Cotton wrote:No, this is a little twist. A deferred adjudication is still a "conviction" for CHL eligibility, but if it's for a non-violent felony then it's not a "conviction" after 10 years. The new statutory language about "set-asides" is very broad and covers any time of order setting aside a judgment.USA1 wrote:does this mean that a deferred adjudication no longer = conviction for CHL purposes ?Charles L. Cotton wrote: As of Sept. 1, 2009, the law changed. Any "conviction" that has been set aside by any method is no longer a conviction for purposes of CHL eligibility.
