It might help to get a letter from the county clerk of the county were you were arrested, saying they have no record of a conviction.

(I'm speaking from experience.)

Dig out any paperwork that you still have and call the county clerk or look up their web site.

DPS generally doesn't have arrest or court records.

You should send them with your application.

Certified copies cost a couple of bucks. You might want to get two or theee copies in case you need them in the future. They become more difficult to get as the years pass.

No. You have to do it. If you don't provide what they need, they'll sit on your application.

Oh, and welcome to the forum.

To get the legal record, you need to start with the clerk of the court in the district where your case was handled. There's such a crazy-quilt of justice of the peace and district courts in Texas, I don't know specifically what to tell you.

If you still have paperwork from these cases, it might help.

If you name the city and county where you were arrested, someone else might be able to tell you where to go.

You're good to go. Only convictions count against you.

You need certified copies of the dispositions of these cases. They can be hard to get, so get them A.S.A.P.
