You can go to the city of Houston courthouse and have a background check done on yourself. Cost is like $6.00. Parking fees are a scam though.

I'm not so sure about this. I've got to confess something to comment on this. I had a DUI when i was 18 or 19 and that was many years ago in Louisiana. I'm 44 now.

I put on the appliation that the DUI existed and that i doubt that there is any record of it, but I recieved a "section 894" or something to that affect saying that it would be removed from my record in 5 years.

Didn't include any official certified copy of the disposition (and i doubt one even exists) and i had no problems getting the CHL. I think if you are honest about it, it's not a problem. If you are not honest, and something shows up, then you've got problems.
Same story with me only I'm 53 now. My CHL instructor said they only go back like 10 or 15 years on the background check but that I should include everything just to be honest. I was honest and it didn't hurt a bit.
