Re: CHL with a Felony Deferred Adjudication

Deferred Adjudication for a felony can not be sealed or expunged in most cases.Mine does not show on any public record search or any basic DPS search. But a advanced search by any law enforcement or judicial branch can pull it right up.I have been trying for years to get mine expunged or sealed with no luck.If you want to know for sure just go get your prints ran by L1 and see what pops up.As for answering yes or no if you have been convicted for a felony. To buy a firearm i can still legally answer no. Texas DPS counts deferred adjudication as a conviction so anything related to them i have to answer yes.If anybody ever runs your prints for a job or anything else be ready to back up anything you can because it will show up as a felony arrest that went to court but it will not show any court or prosecution data.

Re: CHL with a Felony Deferred Adjudication

My first post here but your missing this part of the law.

§ 411.1711. CERTAIN EXEMPTIONS FROM CONVICTIONS. A
person is not convicted, as that term is defined by Section 411.171,
if an order of deferred adjudication was entered against the person
on a date not less than 10 years preceding the date of the person's
application for a license under this subchapter unless the order of
deferred adjudication was entered against the person for an offense
under Title 5, Penal Code, or Chapter 29, Penal Code.


This is why i have a permit from 3 other states. If Deferred Adjudication was given for anything under Title 5 or Chapter 29 Texas will not issue a permit.I was denied again last month for a deferred charge i had 16yrs ago.I still have full rites like everybody else.It was a felony conviction that was set aside with no adjudication of guilt.I paid a fine and 60 days probation that was it.Mine fell under Title 5 chapter 22. Only person that filed charges against me was the District Attorneys office. 16yrs and 3 lawyers later Texas still says no.
