Currently living in San Antonio Texas.
Back in 1988, I was convicted during a special court martial of larceny and obstruction. I received a sentence of 5-months confinement, reduction to E-4 and a fine. I wasn't given a BCD, learned a tough lesson, and went on to serve another 15-years retiring honorably in 2003 at the rank of SMSgt/E-8.
Anyway, I'm considering applying for a Texas Concealed Handgun License (CHL). For obvious reasons, felony convictions disqualify one from receiving a CHL in Texas. However, misdemeanor convictions greater than 5-years old do not disqualify an individual from receiving a Texas CHL; unless they are for domestic violence.
I would like some feedback on whether you think Texas will equate my conviction to a felony or misdemeanor???
