This seems like the right area to be for my post.

First I ask that you please don't judge me for something I did when I was a dumb ole teenager. Definitely doesn't define who I was or definitely who I am today.

I received deferred adjudication for attempted aggravated assault when I was 18. I can purchase firearms without any problem. I realize that on the DPS site it states that deferred cases will be treated as convictions. I also read though that only certain crimes disqualify you for CHL purposes. They are the crimes under Title 9 and Chapter 29. Assault is listed in the list, but not attempted aggravated assault. The only attempt words I could find were attempt in suicide and sexual assault. I'm not sure if this is a small loop hole I could use to fight it.

I also had a question for Johnny. Which paper work stated if it was set aside, nulled, etc.. I'm having trouble finding exactly how my case was treated.

If this doesn't work I'll have to wait additional 5 years to hopefully receive a pardon after proposition 9 passed. I just don't understand how a rapist, murderer, child molester, etc do 10 years in the pen and be eligible for a pardon the day of release. Someone who has stayed out of trouble and proven under "community supervision" that he is able to abide by the law has to wait.
