Re: Eligible or Not?

Based on what you wrote, I don't think you'll have any problems with CHL eligibility.

I believe ATF and NICS only do database queries. The DPS background check uses fingerprints as well. In addition, DPS used to have a regional agent (director's designee) conduct a local check on CHL applicants, but I don't know if that's still the case. In an event, there are conditions that would disqualify a CHL applicant but have no effect on NICS nor on getting a C&R FFL.

Re: Eligible or Not?

Class C misdemeanors are not disqualifiers, except for Disorderly Conduct.

If you received tickets but were not arrested, I believe those do not need to be disclosed. (For the purposes of the CHL application, arrests involve fingerprinting, et cetera. They ignore the fact that a traffic stop is technically an arrest, IIRC, according to Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.)

Oh - and to repeat what v-rog said, I wager your status won't change online until you send them everything, including the training certificate.
