I was recently arrested on a Case A Misdemeanor and DPS has suspended my LTC. I have requested a hearing for the suspension. The court case was dismissed as no probable cause for the arrest. Do any of the lawyers on here know if I can get the suspension lifted?

I could find it in Chapter 16.

Suggest you contact the license office...

Do you have any carry insurance such as Law Shield, etc... if so then you can try and call them for advise...

I can't say if it is applicable or not after they suspend your LTC but I do know that when you apply for the LTC originally they require you send them the court documents showing dismissed for any charges you may have ever faced. I remember having to do that with three different cases, two were the same event. I would probably call them and ask.

Just curious … since the charge was dismissed, if the DPS refuses return your license, does that fact make you prohibited from Constitutional Carry?

All you have to do is send dismissal & request suspension lift.

That was my thought as well. I don't know why they can find charges on your record but can't find the final disposition. That is what they do on your original application for a CHL/LTC. I had two counts each or AA and AM that were no-billed by the grand jury as self defense. I had to run down to Dallas and get copies of the disposition to send in. Cleared up and everything was a go.

Easy answer: because the counties don’t report the dispositions & DPS has incomplete rap sheets.
