Re: Criminal background question for CHL.....
If the offense was under Chapter 32 (Fraud) then I believe you're eligible 10 years after the court date when the order of deferred adjudication was entered against you. As a first order approximation, the felonies for which deferred adjudication is still considered a conviction (for CHL eligibility purposes) after 10 years are felony crimes of violence. (For specifics, see 411.1711 above.)

I'm curious. Why did you choose to exclude the text referring to 411.1711 from your red highlighting?
