I've read that the misdemeanor needs to be 5 years old before you can get your CHL in Texas. Was this the case for you? You can PM me in you don't want to post it publicly. Thanks
Fist off welcome to the forum.
It will depend on what your misdemeanor was for and how it translates into Texas laws. If it would be a Class A or B misdemeanor in Texas, then you have to wait at least 5 years after the date of conviction. If it was a Class C misdemeanor, then you probably won't have to wait.
IANAL
