If you were written a ticket under the Transportation Code or a city ordinance, you are fine and have no problems with your CHL. But if you were charged and convicted under the disorderly conduct statutes, you cannot get a CHL for 5 years from the date of conviction. In your specific case, disorderly conduct subsection 42.01(a)(5) is the possible charge:

(5) makes unreasonable noise in a public place other than a sport shooting range, as defined by Section 250.001, Local Government Code, or in or near a private residence that he has no right to occupy;

This would be a class C misdemeanor for which you only paid a fine but it stops you from getting a CHL for 5 years.

You will need to verify the exact section of the law you were charged and convicted under.

Class C misdemeanors can still prevent him from getting a CHL? I was under the impression it had to be Class B or above?
