Re: Felonies on Record
Yes what is for DWI Driving While Intoxicated. DUI is Driving Under the Influence and it is only enforced for drivers under 21 with zero tolerance. If they detect any amount of alcohol you can be charged with DUI and do not have to be Intoxicated.

A DUI is only for minors under 21. DWI is for people over 21.Crossfire wrote:Deferred adjudication is considered a conviction for CHL purposes.
A DUI is at least a Class "B" misdemeanor, and makes you ineligible for 5 years.
From reading the law I cannot see anywhere that it states Deferred adjudication is considered a conviction.

Re: Felonies on Record
I know if you got deferred adjudication and successfully completed it, you can still purchase firearms just like anyone else.Crossfire wrote:A felony conviction makes you permanently ineligible for a Texas CHL.
The only way you can become eligible is if the conviction is pardoned, expunged, voided, set aside, or sealed.
Or if the offense you were convicted of is no longer classified as a felony.
Or you got deferred adjudication for it, and it was more than 10 years ago, and it was a non-violent felony.
I am not clear on how this affects CHL eligibility. Since it is not a conviction, it should not matter but there may be some clause about this in the law.
What about a first DWI conviction. Will this prevent you from getting a CHL?
