See my post above http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_F ... 7&start=30 If it was equivalent to a felony now, then they could hold it under that rule. Usually a special court martial IS for misdemeanor type charges, and a full court martial has a jury and is for felony level events.

If your level of theft was less than $500, then it should not be felony larceny (unless there were other circumstances that would escalate ti to felony level.) Whether you have done the time or not, you have a charge that can follow you on your record. best bet is to work with DPS and try to get them on your side to agree you are eligible. You will catch a lot more flies with honey than vinegar.

It may come down to whether the crime fits the class of a felony now. Was there a $$ amount listed on the larceny? If so, and it was less than $500, it may now be considered a misdemeanor amount and would be past the 5 year rule for a Class A or B.

The best bet is to contact the JAG on the base where you had your court martial and see if they can tell you how it plays out in the civil arena and what the records will show.
