Re: Domestic Violence deffered adjudication and CHL

BalderasD wrote:I live in Texas and I had a battery domestic violence charge when I visisted Las Vegas back in 2013. I already had a CHL for the stare of Texas and a few guns but left everything at home. I got arrested and stayed in jail for 4 days because it was Labor day weekend. I didn't go to court they just let me go and told me that I didn't have to go to court, pay a fine, or due community service. It was my first offense and have stayed out of trouble since then. I've been trying to find out ecer since if I'm allowed to buy or own guns. Everyone I ask keeps giving me the runaround and half answers. Is my CHL invalid now because of the BDV? If so, is there anything I can do to get my gun rights back?
You need to get a record from the court and check if there is a conviction on your record or not. If you were convicted and sentenced to time served, which happens a lot in Teas for class C misdemeanors where you get booked, you have been convicted of domestic violence and are forever barred from owning weapons. It is also possible that charges were dropped instead, but I strongly suggest you get a certified copy of the court record to be sure. DPS will need it also when you renew anyway.
