Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas
My nephew was convicted of a felony in 1991, served prison time, released, and finished parole. Upon his release he found out that the name he was incarcerated under was not his name. (long story). But his SSN does not have any kind of convictions on it. He buys guns legally in his name and teaches at a high school. He wants to get a hazmat CDL endorsement but the do a fingerprint background check. My question is will they combine the two names and give him a record if he gets endorsed.

This happens all the time and it is not unusual that criminal history records are not always exact. This is mainly because people use a lot of different SSN's and names. Once the fingerprints are compared, the computers will sort it out and he will be flagged for review. Believe me, your nephew could be in big trouble. He knows he is a convicted felon and these are easy cases for the prosecution to prove. It's all about having the records admitted into evidence against him on a felony charge; then back to prison he goes. He should never possession firearms or ammunition at any time ever in his life.
