Court can't provide copy of disposition

If it's sealed, you wouldn't have had to wait the 5 years, BTW.

I believe that only applies if the case is expunged. Mine wasn't expunged just sealed.

Sec. 411.172. ELIGIBILITY. (a) A person is eligible for a license to carry a handgun if the person:
...
(8) has not, in the five years preceding the date of application, been convicted of a Class A or Class B misdemeanor or equivalent offense or of an offense under Section 42.01, Penal Code, or equivalent offense;

Sec. 411.171. DEFINITIONS. In this subchapter:
...
(4) "Convicted" means an adjudication of guilt or, except as provided in Section 411.1711, an order of deferred adjudication entered against a person by a court of competent jurisdiction whether or not the imposition of the sentence is subsequently probated and the person is discharged from community supervision. The term does not include an adjudication of guilt or an order of deferred adjudication that has been subsequently:
(A) expunged;
(B) pardoned under the authority of a state or federal official; or
(C) otherwise vacated, set aside, annulled, invalidated, voided, or sealed under any state or federal law.

I stand corrected. I was under the impression it was only for expunged cases. I never really looked hard into the laws however. Thanks for the heads up. I just recently started looking into getting my LTC because I have started to become more interested in protecting my wife and 2 yr old daughter when we're out and about. Been hearing some crazy stories around the Ft. Worth area and would like to have every protection available. Thanks again
