Thank you.... Thank you very much!

My plastic arrived today. Had no problems or delays.

Thank you to those who responded.

It appears all is well. The documents I provided answered all of the investigators questions and I cleared background check. Status is now "manufacturing".

Wish I would have done this sooner......

Unfortunately my charge was a felony and the reason I was concerned about being disqualified.

We shall see... I'll keep this thread updated.

When I was a stupid teenager (18) I had a felony charge of Possession of Prohibited weapon back in 1985 (I experimented with explosives.... long story) and given deferred adjudication (top of probation order is stamped "Unadjudicated") in 1986. I was discharged from probation in 1989 and the request signed by the judge states "......be released from further probation, granted a new trial, probation set aside and the cause be dismissed from the docket of the court." I recently found document at the courthouse titled "Order Discharging and Releasing Defendant From Probation and it clearly states " and the court further finds the defendant.... has entered a plea of guilty and that such verdict should be set aside or withdrawn and the accusation, complaint, information or indictment should be dismissed and defendant be released from all penalties and disabilities resulting from the above named crime or which the defendant has pleaded guilty...... . This paper is also marked "Unadjudicated"

I've been a good guy since then and according to everything I have read I should be able to get my CHL. My family has encouraged me for years to get it but I assumed I wouldn't qualify. I called DPS, spent an hour on hold, and they stated enough time had passed and my release orders directly addresses the indictment be dismissed.

.......Wish me luck that the gentleman I spoke to was correct.
