I mailed my CHL docs today along with a disposition for a class b offense in 1987. I received deffered and completed that successfully. I mailed the disposition that I printed from the Dallas courts website. Will that suffice?

probably not, I think it has to be a certified copy from the Clerks office

I had to send in a certified(maybe notarized) copy showing a "no-billed" disposition for a couple offenses.

Most class B misdeminors don't count against getting a CHL
after 5 years 1987 was well past the five year limit you should not have any issues

A class A or B that is over 5 years since the date of conviction won't
count against getting a Chl Unless it is for domestic violence
( note federal law prohibits anyone convicted for any domestic violence charge
is permanently prohibited from buying owning or carry any firearms)
If a chl holder gets convicted of a Class A or B then the chl is revoked until
2 years after the cause for revocation no longer exists
If a CHL holder gets a Class A or B example Drunk driving
Revocation 5 years due to the class A or B plus an additional two years
Total revocation is 7 years if a CHL holder gets a class A or B conviction
If the conviction is abdocated or deferred it won't change the
CHL revocation time
I'm not a lawyer check DPS web site

Since you admitted to the class B and it is too old to make a
diffrence the disposition is not relivent. Should be ok

All correct info on the disqualifiers. Most Class B's won't be a problem. You do need certified copies of the dispositions from the court. I had to go through this (still under review), but getting the docs isn't too bad. Just call the county clerk where the offense was, and they can get you certified copies, and will mail them out to you same day in most cases. The clerks I talked to were actually very familiar with CHL and what I needed, which made things easier.
Most of them have no problem taking a payment over the phone. I have to say, the level of service with the county clerks is leaps and bounds above the DPS....or at least in my experience it has been. YMMV....
Good luck!
