Thanks for any advice?

Welcome to the forum.

Yes. All arrests where you were fingerprinted and photographed must be listed. You will need a certified copy of the disposition from the Taylor County Court clerk to send along with your application.

Since you are past the 5 year period, you should be good to go as long as there are no other issues that would disqualify you.

Thanks so much Keith!! i have contacted them and since i had the cause code the certified copy is free!!!
I am sure as i start this process i will have other questions, i also have my DD-214 coming in the mail.

Keith after doing some checking into my arrest record i was not happy with what i found.

1-2-98 Travis county class B misdemeanor
9-4-98 Williamson county class B misdemeanor
1-14-99 Taylor county class B misdemeanor

So will i not be able to get my CHL?

Well, it depends on what those other misdemeanors are. For the most part, if a misdemeanor is over 5 years old (5 years from conviction date) then you should be OK. There are a couple of exceptions though.

If you don't want to post them publicly, you can send me a PM with the info.

1 theft by services under $500
2 theft by check under $500

this is when i was young a stupid the newest convection date is 2005.

As they are Class B misdemeanors and over 5 years you should not have any issue that I see. Just make sure to list them and include certified copies of the disposition.

OK thank you Keith i have already requested certified copies from all three counties.

Keith - Have a quick follow up question on this. Someone I know was arrested for a DWI in another state (IL). He told me, however, that he was not fingerprinted and photographed but stayed in city jail overnight till he bonded out. I would guess this should be listed on application as an arrest, even though he wasn't photo/printed??? Thoughts???

It's possible they don't need fingerprints and photos for a DWI. However, he needs to list it and get the paperwork showing the disposition.

Generally it is best to disclose it all, and provide documentation. If it is a misdemeanor and it's been more than five years, you'll be fine. If they find out you failed to disclose something, that's a bigger problem than whatever it was you were trying to hide.

I just submitted my CHL application, and realized I forgot to list an arrest for a Class C Misdemeanor back in like 2003. If was for a traffic warrant. Is it something you think they'll find, and if they do is it cause for concern? Is there any way to rectify the situation before they process my application?
