Justramit,
You are correct that in regards to a CHL application, Texas includes deferred adjudication in the definition for conviction. However, deferred adjudications are not included in the definition for both state and federal laws that deal with losing your rights to purchase or possess firearms. If another state does not have the same restrictions for its carry license and you are able to receive this license, and we have a reciprocity agreement with that state, then you will be able to carry in Texas.
