I thought that was only if you lose your CHL after having it?

I believe that it is the same amount of time either way, all that is stated is 5 years after conviction date of a class A or B midemeanor plus 2 years of eligibility after the 5 year period

Only if your license is revoked are you then required to wait the 2 years.

Texas Government Code;


§411.186. Revocation.

(a) A license may be revoked under this section if the
license holder:

(1) was not entitled to the license at the time it was
issued;

(2) gave false information on the application;

(3) subsequently becomes ineligible for a license under
Section 411.172, unless the sole basis for the ineligibility is that
the license holder is charged with the commission of a Class A or
Class B misdemeanor or an offense under Section 42.01, Penal Code,
or of a felony under an information or indictment;

(4) is convicted of an offense under Section 46.035, Penal
Code; or

(5) is determined by the department to have engaged in
conduct constituting a reason to suspend a license listed in Section
411.187(a) after the person's license has been previously suspended
twice for the same reason.
.

.


(c) A license holder whose license is revoked for a reason
listed in this section may reapply as a new applicant for the issuance
of a license under this subchapter after the second anniversary of the
date of the revocation if the cause for revocation does not exist on
the date of the second anniversary. If the cause for revocation
exists on the date of the second anniversary after the date of
revocation, the license holder may not apply for a new license until
the cause for revocation no longer exists and has not existed for a
period of two years.

An initial applicant is eligible for a license once the 5th anniversery for a conviction of a class A or B misdemeanor is reached.

No, you misunderstood. If your license is revoked, then it will be 7 years, 5 for the Class a/b or c(disorderly conduct) misdemeanor and 2 for the revocation.

If you do not have a license, you only have to wait they 5 years.

I did not notice page two, did not realize the 5/7 question had already been answered. My bad.
