Out of state misdemeanor
Posted: Fri Aug 28, 2015 5:52 pm
I applied for my CHL at the beginning of August having read the requirements and thinking I was good to go. I had a a misdemeanor marijuana possession conviction from Arizona in 1995 that I disclosed when I sent in my application. Obviously that was more than 5 years ago. I served my 6 months of probation and paid the fine.
Now, I received a letter from DPS saying my application was delayed because it was incomplete. Apparently I need to provide full disposition information.
Several years ago, I needed this same documentation for another purpose, so thankfully I had it in the filing cabinet. One point I would like to mention is that the case paperwork I have says that the case has been "sealed/expunged."
Yesterday, I sent in the copy of the case history to DPS and am now in a holding patten to see what happens.
My concern is if this offense is going to disqualify me. I also would like to know if anyone has any experience with a case that has been sealed/expunged.
