So, my 21yo son wants to pursue his Texas CHL and I would like to ask for some advice on his behalf. First off, I would refer to him as being a reponsible mature young man, and has learned from his mistake. Nonetheless, he was charged with a DWI when he was 17, and offered a 'pre-trial diversion' which he met the requirements for and recieved deferred adjudication. In my understanding for the CHL, is the same as a conviction.
Since this incident, he has not had any legal or financial trouble and we know that he is not eligible for a Texas CHL for another 2 years. I had my wife call and get registered for her own CHL class and she mentioned my son's predicament to the instructor. His instructions were for him to take the class here in TX and to pursue a CHL licensing in Florida, where, according to him, they don't particularly care about his DWI. I checked DPS' website, and they indeed offer recipriocity(sp?) with our great state.
So my question is this, can he do this, legally? I hate to give him bad advice, and him end up in a jackpot because he is a Texas resident with a Florida CHL.
I appreciate the opportunity to post my question and to draw upon the vast wealth of information of the forum.
