Got a quick question...

[stevie_d_64]

I've looked as fast as I can, but figured someone has the true scoop...

Does a non-felony juvenile record (out of state) need to be noted on any paperwork on your Texas CHL applicaiton packet???

My newbie admitted to such, and as I'm smacking my forehead, I'm trying to give him some good stuff to go by before he sends off his packet...

My initial reaction was its not a show stopper, but do you have to, and do you have the means to give them that info if you have to???

Well with all the jibber-jabber you produce, you'd think you might know this?

But I have to ask, "How big a boy are you?"

[stevie_d_64]

Big enough to whoop up on you Roy!

[Crossfire]

Boy, I hope you two guys know each other....

Anyways, Steve, it's always best to disclose the info. DPS does NOT like surprises! A non-felony juvenile problem should not cause the application to be denied, but it may cause a bit of a delay, especially so if DPS discovers it on their own.

Yeah, we're cool...Roy's a radio guy...He's harmless...

About the records...I thought juvenile records were pretty much sealed if they are non-felony stuff...And that it might even be difficult if not extremely time consuming to retrieve, even if its your own information...

I guess I'll tell "newbie" to see if he can get the info...I'm thinking thats opening a can of worms, but I guess if they see it and know its not applicable to his situation now, I figure its not a show stopper...

I'll let him know...

Whats funny is that if he can purchase a firearm (I was standing right there when he did it) and not get a hit on the "check"...He walked out with one with cash on the barrelhead...

There probably wouldn't be an isssue for him on the investigation for his CHL...

But your right, maybe its better to give them everthing, even though it may not disqualify him...

She's right, I've been told that they want every arrest listed, even if they were released 30 minutes later without charges.

[seamusTX]

The blue instruction sheet says, "Include information regarding any offence for which you were taken into custody by law enforcement and fingerprinted, or any offense for which you were charged under an information or indictment."

It does not say, "unless you were a minor, or charges were dropped, or the record was expunged," etc.

Yep...He'll have something he needs to add to the form before he sends it in...

I don't believe it'll be a show stopper...

Like I said, if he can purchase a firearm, and the NCIC check comes back with no issues...I'm thinking this will be looked at, and checked off...No big deal...

He told me he was accused of stealing a bike...

OK, who here has not taken a friends bike, and rode that around for a while???

Show of hands???



Guess they are really strict in Colorado...Got to have a note signed and in triplicate, notorized, and the copy carried on you while riding said bike...

[maximus2161]

I agree. Have them list the information.
