If I understand correctly, he hasn't taken the class or applied for a CHL yet. It sounds like the check was a "Brady" check to purchase a firearm.

The eligibilty qualifications for a Texas CHL are in subsection 411.172 of the Government Code. The details on what counts as a conviction are in the 411.171 and 411.1711 subsections. Without details on the exact offense and the disposition, I think that's about the best answer I can give.

If the offense was shoplifting, you may be OK. If it was murder, you may be out of luck.

California law doesn't override the Federal lifetime ban for felons (with rare exceptions.)
