I am wanting to apply to take the chl course and get my license. My question is that in 2007 when I was 19 and stupid I was arrested for possesion of marijuana and was charged with a class b misdemeanor. I was on probation and took care of everything I was ordered to and let off early. I was also arrested with minor in consumption of alcohol and arrested as well. I read something about a 10 year rule and have not had any trouble since then and have had no trouble withe law except for a couple speeding tickets . Will this cause the denial of my application?
I am brand new on here and have owned weapons for years now. I have wanted to get my chl for quite sometime but have weary because of this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you! I look forward to learning as much as I can. I have been searching the forum and can't find a direct answer just yet. I have found similar but everyone's situation is different.

Most likely you would be denied, just not 100% on this one. I know if someone had 2 DWI's within 10 years they would definitely be denied.

Minor in Consumption is a Class C Misdemeanor, and does not count
Your Class B Misdemeanor conviction date needs to be more than 5 years ago. Probation dates don't matter.
So, if you are more than 5 years past the court date, and have nothing else to report, you should be good to go.

Awesome! I appreciate the help! Looks like I will be getting my CHL and joining the club with you fine gentleman! On my application do I still report the arrest or write no because it is more than 5 years?

you MUST report the arrest and conviction, get a certified copy from the county clerk and send it with your criminal history questionnaire to DPS
