Re: Question on Eligibility
2 months is not that long, especially if they asked for your DD-214. If that's all they asked for and you sent it, then I would just hang tight a little longer. They have a lot of pending license apps, so they should process it, it will just take a little longer.

Re: Question on Eligibility
Welcome to the forum.NM_AlienVisitor wrote:Hello everyone,
I just found this website and forum and I have question about eligibility that I hope someone could help me out with.
To make a long story short - I was in the Army 17 years ago and I was released with an OTH Discharge in Lieu of Court Martial by taking a Chapter 10 administrative discharge. There was break in on our base and the guy I bunked with was part of that break-in. When the CID investigator questioned me I asked to have a lawyer present. They took this as indication of my involvement of the break-in, but I was not a party before or after the fact. I was never arrested but when everything played out my commander included my name when charges were being handed out. I ended up taking a chapter 10 option because my JAG lawyer put me the fear of God into me about being convicted even though I thought I would be exonerated easily, and the chapter afforded me an option to not be convicted of a crime. Fast-forward to now, I am applying for my TX CHL but I didn't put anything that happened to me in the military since couldn't remember what the charges were and because I was never "arrested". Of course, those charges ended up coming up in my background check. Is this going to prevent me from getting my CHL? Thank you.
It really depends. The way I understand your post is that you have already applied for your CHL, but DPS has found the incident on your background check?
If that is correct did DPS send you something asking to provide documentation on the incident? If so, then you need to provide the actual discharge papers showing that you received an OTH discharge but were never convicted on anything. I don't believe that a Chapter 10 OTH is a conviction for the purpose of CHL, but no matter, you need certified documentation showing the disposition of the case for DPS.
