Deferred adjudication question

[Crossfire]

I understand it was not a felony, otherwise it would be a disqualification for good. Am I correct?

No, you are not correct.

A felony deferred adjudication of a habitation is a permanent disqualification, but not so with a building.

I made my one (non-violent) mistake, and I paid the price. I went to college, got married, have a wife and two kids, a mortgage, and a car loan. I pay (too much) taxes, and I vote in every election. Looking back, I can honestly say that getting arrested was a good thing for me. If we hadn't gotten caught, things would likely have only gotten worse. The way it turned out, I got my wakeup call and turned things around.

If I can't get a CHL, I guess I'll just have to chalk it up to "actions have consequences" and go on about my life. Maybe that will be a good object lesson for my kids some day.

First, congratulations on getting your plastic!

Second, congratulations on having a mature attitude about the possibilities. Many people never get to that point in life, and their lives always seem a shambles to me. Literally nothing in life, good or bad, is without consequence; but the seemingly often forgotten truth is that long term consequences are often the result of what we make out of the opportunities which come our way to improve our circumstances.

Every one has made mistakes in their lives. Obviously you have learned from yours and turned your life around. More power to you.
