I don't see how Texas procedures & procedures on expunctions have any relevance whatsoever to an Arkansas expunction of an Arkansas conviction before an Arkansas court for an Arkansas law violation.
But then, IANAL myself, so I tend to be logical.
As frankie_the_yankee and many others have said . . .
GET A LAWYER.

IANAL, but aren't the states all supposed to recognize one another's legal adjudications?
If he was convicted in another state, the conviction would stand, and Texas would recognize it - it would be a disqualification for CHL.
Since the same state later expunged the conviction - saying, in effect, it never happened - then it seems that Texas is required to recognize that, too.
It sounds like someone who also isn't a lawyer may be applying their own interpretation to reject the application.
KungFu needs to consult with an attorney.
