Re: Eligibility
Expect that DPS will find sealed records, even sealed juvenile records, and disclose accordingly.

Re: Eligibility
I don't understand "deferred disposition" but if they're equivalent to not guilty verdicts then they have no effect on your eligibility once disposed. If they're equivalent to convictions, most Class C misdemeanors won't disqualify you, but be careful about the "chemically dependent" question.
Evading arrest is a different story. The conviction may be sealed but if the arrest isn't, DPS will find it. Then it's your job to document it's not a conviction for CHL purposes.
Either way, you have to disclose them on the application and it's quicker if you provide copies of the disposition so DPS doesn't put your application on the slow boat to China Grove while waiting for the paperwork from the courts. Failure to disclose is a false statement that can disqualify you by itself, so honesty is the best policy.
