This will be my first post here, I have read alot of helpful information here but I need an answer on this one.

Will 2 class c misdemeanors in a five year period keep you from receiving your CHL? Dont get me wrong, wrong place wrong time!
one was for Public intox.
the other was assault by contact.

Neither was associated with D.O.C. 42.01 or Family Violence.

One of the real good law gurus will be along for the answer to this one.

May be in the morning but I doubt it.

Thanks for the reply,paid my money did the online app on 8-28-10 and CHL class same day, mailed off packet on 9-2-10.

The understanding I have for eligibilty:
is not charged with the commission of a Class A or Class B misdemeanor
or equivalent offense, or of an offense under Section 42.01,
Penal Code, or equivalent offense, or of a felony under an information
or indictment;
is not a fugitive from justice for a felony or a Class A or Class B
misdemeanor or equivalent offense;
(6) is not a chemically dependent person;
(7) is not incapable of exercising sound judgment with respect to the
proper use and storage of a handgun;
(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;
(9) is fully qualified under applicable federal and state law to purchase
a handgun
I have bought recently, several.

Should be fine class c are like speeding tickets. Were you arrested do you serve time in jail or only paid fines?

Neither one will disqualify you, but the assault charge might delay you. I can see DPS holding up while they get verification that it was not family involved. Of course, family involved would disqualify you, which to me justifies their delaying to be sure.

Arrested on both / Time served on PI 5 hours / assault by contact 200.00 fine. These are the skeletons in my closet!

No worries here, was not family related. Just an unavoidable situation!

Make sure you state both on the app and it should be okay
