Do not talk to us about your case. Hire a lawyer. Keep your info confidential. Deleting this post is even better.

You need to appeal and prove the claim under which your CHL was suspended is not true. As simple as that. Supply enough evidence, not a story, to the appeal board.

It is good that you are reaching for a lawyer to defend your case.

It's pretty early in the day.... I suspect you'll have some recommendations once folks wake up and log on.

You are in Houston. Contact Charles L. Cotton, the owner of this forum and a Houston attorney. He may not be able to take your case at this time, but he can certainly recommend an attorney who will.

For the sake of people who don't know the relevant law, and without commenting on the OP's specifics which were deleted before I could read them:

Sec. 411.172. ELIGIBILITY.

• (a) A person is eligible for a license to carry a concealed handgun if the person:
  • (7) is not incapable of exercising sound judgment with respect to the proper use and storage of a handgun;
  (d) For purposes of Subsection (a)(7), a person is incapable of exercising sound judgment with respect to the proper use and storage of a handgun if the person:
  • (1) has been diagnosed by a licensed physician as suffering from a psychiatric disorder or condition that causes or is likely to cause substantial impairment in judgment, mood, perception, impulse control, or intellectual ability;
    (2) suffers from a psychiatric disorder or condition described by Subdivision (1) that:
    • (A) is in remission but is reasonably likely to redevelop at a future time; or
      (B) requires continuous medical treatment to avoid redevelopment;
    (3) has been diagnosed by a licensed physician, determined by a review board or similar authority, or declared by a court to be incompetent to manage the person's own affairs; or
    (4) has entered in a criminal proceeding a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity.

Given the VA's abuse of older vets, and the gov'ts attempts to disarm the elderly simply because they need a little help filling out Medicare forms and such, this part of the law seems to make sense on the surface, but is open to abuse.
