It takes 5 years from when you get off to petition for any of those. Get Florida or Arizona.
Isn't it 10 years on a deferred felony? A misdemeanor CONVICTION is only 5 years. UCW in Texas is a Class A misdemeanor.
Last I looked at 411.171(4) and 411.1711, it did not clarify felony or misdemeanor for deferred. It does seem weird that it would be more time than if convicted, but that is what I read.
411.1711 outlines certain felonies that are lifetime DQ. Only place it is mentioned.
The way I read is CONVICTED
includes DA in the case of misdemeanors. If a misdemeanor conviction is only a 5 year disqualification, then so is a DA. A felony CONVICTION is a lifetime disqualifier, then the code goes on to say 10 years after a FELONY, DA is no longer a conviction, except for certain ones.
