You need to get documentation of the case from the clerk of the court in the county were you were convicted. Going back 22 years, maybe all you can get is a letter saying that they have no record of your conviction. DPS will accept that.

If you filed an online application, DPS will mail the paperwork to you. Then you take the course and mail it back to them. Include the case disposition at that time.

Be sure to keep a copy.
