Applying for a CHL 10 years after a felony
Posted: Wed Oct 02, 2013 8:32 pm
Got a potential student that was charged w/carrying an illegal weapon on a school ground – knuckles. He thinks it was a felony but he received deferred adjudication, 11 years ago.
46.05(a)(6). defines knuckles as prohibited weapons but 46.02 says that’s a Class A misdemeanor. 46.03 says it a felony on a school ground.
GC sec 411.1711 says they can get a CHL after 10 years EXCEPT for felony offences under Title 5, Chap 29, Sect 25.07, and 30.02. Obviously, it does NOT include 46…. Et al.
I assume he can get a CHL, if there are no other disqualifying issues in his background.
I tried to inquire using the DPS contact site but they said they could not give legal advice. Do applicants have to spend $140 to be told they are not eligible?
Anyone have any experience or ideas?
