Go to the clerk office of the Court(s) where you were "convicted" and put on probation. Get a certified copy of your "convictions" first. I'm using the word convicted as written under the statute. ANY probation or deferred adjudication is considered a conviction under Texas law. I don't agree with it, but it is what it is.

Get this done first. Once you get these, come back here and ask any questions.
If you are serious about getting your CHL, this is the first step that is needed. DPS will need this paperwork and the results of the convictions.
