They took my watch with the date on it when they booked me.

also, I was more worried about Bubba and watching my back than the date!

Never had even a ticket since. Only arrest, and only because I chose to hang out with the wrong people (still my own fault, and a learning experience regardless).
The date isn't important to me though as it isn't anything I celebrate annually.

UPDATE: I got ahold of the county sheriffs office, and they were able to tell me the info on my arrest.

What actually happened:
Arrested for alleged theft and MIP
Released on Bail
Dismissed, no charges, paid fine for MIP

Whats actually on record:
County Clerk: Nothing
County Attorney: Nothing
Texas DPS: Nothing
County Sheriff: Arrested for MIP, No warrant, Released on bail, Paid fine.

So, I did complete my CHL application and list it with the information recieved from the sheriffs office.

Question: Do I need to fill out a CHL-78c form? I assume ys, and just include info on the MIP?
I do have a certified letter (fax copy) stating no criminal records in the county which I can send with my paperwork

NOTE: The theft would have been Class B, however the MIP is only Class C (if that matters)

There may be other ways, but none that I know, sorry.

thanks for the response.

I have however, contacted the county clerk as I stated above and they have a clear criminal history on me.
I also ran a criminal history check on myself on the TxDPS website and it came back with no records.

I got arrested probably 10 years ago on a theft charge.

A buddy (area judge) said he could get rid of it if i took a theft class.
I took the class and let it go.

Now I want to apply for my CHL, but I figured I should put the arrest on the application since the DPS will probably see the arrest.
I called the County Clerks office and they have no records in my name ever.

So I did get a certified sealed letter showing a clean criminal check from them, however, no one can tell me when I got arrested since there is no evidence! and I cant remember!

Should I just not worry and not put it on the application at all?
Or should I estimate? (I wouldnt think so, since I am not even sure of the year)

I just don't wanna take the wrong path. PLEASE HELP!

Thanks
