Domestic Violence? Really?

Sounds like you are good to go. Congrats.

Now, you just have to take the class, file the papers, and then wait, and wait and wait......

Hang in there, it will be here quicker than you know.

Thanks! I'm heading down to Austin this weekend to take the class with my wife, brother, sister, brother-in-law and a few friends. I'm Really looking forward to it and have shot over 300 rounds in the past 2 weekends in preparation for it!

KBCraig quoted federal law, which is why you would not be in violation for purchasing a firearm. As Steve stated, Texas is MUCH different in their interpretation.

The most important distinction would be that if he had a DV conviction by Texas standards, it would only mean that he might not get his CHL. No crime, just a denial.

If he had a DV conviction by federal standards, it would be a felony for him to purchase or possess any firearm or even a single round of ammunition.
