Thanks Everyone,
Finally got through to DPS and confirmed that I don't really need a Petition of Non-Disclosure to get a CHL now that the 10 years is up, etc.
Saved me about $1,500 bucks although I may do it anyway to clean up my records...
Starting process now and Thanks to all that responded...

Hi,tdoginallen wrote:
Tx law states that a sealed record, or order of non disclosure allows the person to omit the fact that they were ever arrested.
Second, a sealed record is not considered a conviction for CHL purposes.
Can anyone confirm this is true? I am getting ready to go through the process of "Letter of Non-Disclosure" on a 1979 deferred adjudication of a Class 1 Felony Arson conviction (set a dumpster on fire when I was young, drunk, and stupid) - 10 years deferred
I am getting conflicting information from lawyers (1 says it would allow me to get CHL - other says no) and the DPS is on overload on calls after the holiday.
Before I spend the $1,500 - I would like your thoughts. My main goal is CHL but I would be happy with being able to purchase without being delayed every time.
Thanks!
Steve
