Ah, I know. I mean the at the Federal level that charge is extremely limiting. Say someone pushed his wife, that is considered a simple assault (touching) If convicted at state level FBI NICS would come negative.

I think the main idea is that one should not push his wife or lay hands on her in any manner considered aggressive. Society has become much less accepting of physical abuse on a spouse. The law reflects the seriousness of the situation.

I guess, it would the same for wife loosing her 2ndA rights when she slaps her husband, pulls his hair or bite him. On the other hand, pulling his hair is tough when he is bold.

I contacted my State Representatives' office to see if they would be interested in helping me with my situation. I emailed them on Friday 10/12/2018 at about 9:30 AM. They sent me a reply around 9:40 AM asking for more information so I provided them that information around 8:30 PM Friday night and receive another reply at 10:30 PM indicating they would work on the issue for me first thing Monday morning.

Well today 10/15/2018 at 3:10 PM I received a phone call from Texas Department of Public Safety Office of Regulatory Counsel. A supervisor who said within the first sentences that she was contacted by State Representitive Stan Lambert's office.

We had a pleasant conversation and she said to me that if she's satisfied with why I believe I was wrongfully denied and that they were the ones that made the error, she can reverse the denial without needing to have an appeal hearing.

She asked that I send her my paperwork from my criminal case, the court documents, she will review them and determine if there was an oversight on their behalf that led to my denial. So I emailed the documents and hope to hear from them within the next few days.

Thank you mojo84 for your wonderful suggestion!

Infoman:
I was given the deferred adjudication on March 1, 1993 in Taylor County Texas for the charge of Unauthorized Use of Motor Vehicle

I'm being patient.
I was told that DPS was waiting for a response from my county clerk and I went to my county clerk and they said that they haven't heard from anyone from DPS on my appeal, I was helped by a person who made several calls to all local entities that would be involved with the situation and nothing.

Does any one have information to help me out? Do I need to seek an attorney that could get the ball rolling faster? How long does it take to get an appeal hearing? Seems like there's a lot of feet dragging... I know I know, it's the government.
