Re: Deferred Adjudication = Convicted?
Are you talking about having a juvenile record sealed? That is not the same as an expungement. Even sealed juvenile records are accessible by DPS for CHL purposes.

Re: Deferred Adjudication = Convicted?
DJDONTE - Sorry I have not responded to you before. I guess I just overlooked this thread.
You will not be eligible for a CHL until 5 years past the conviction date of your Class B Misdemeanor. Probation, deferred adjudication; none of that has anything to do with it. It is 5 years from the conviction date.
Your unpaid traffic ticket will not effect your eligibility, as long as it was a Class C Misdemeanor (not a DUI).
If you apply for the CHL, you will be denied, and you will be out the $140 application fee. DPS does NOT refund the fee for any reason. Your original question was "could you carry in your car without a CHL", and that answer is "yes". As long as you are legally able to possess a firearm, you can carry it in your car.
