Re: License was revoked 3 years ago, am I eligible to get chl back??

To the OP:

It looks like the 42.01 conviction is an at least 5 year bar to CHL, and maybe 2 more if they claim they had to revoke it. At least you very intelligently avoided the Msidemeanor Domestic Violence, which would have been a lifetime bar to firearm possession (idiotic as it may seem). Since you pled NOLO, you were effectively "convicted" of the 42.01. I think the best bet is to see if you can get it "expunged" or "set-aside/sealed", as that would then not count as a conviction under CHL. As for the NICS checks being delayed, I think there is a mechanism to file with FBI to update your record, assuming you are ultimately found eligible federally, which it seems there is no reason you should not be. But until you can get the disorderly cleared looks like at least two more years and maybe 4 to get a Texas CHL. You could get a FL or AZ to carry, but that wouldn't help you buy. Or if you're retired LEO you may already be able to carry under LEOSA.
