My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas
Recently got a set aside for a felony drug conviction. Texas DPS has updated it on my record. How long do I have to wait to pass the NICS backgroung check to buy a firearm?

Don't quote me, but I believe it is 5 years from the END of your punishment and even after the 5 years you are still restricted to possession only while on your premises.
We're talking here about the setting aside of a probation conviction, a/k/a judicial clemency?
Disregard my response - I misread OPs question. My response pertains to someone who is convicted of a felony.
Yes! the court disposition was set aside and any plea or conviction was withdrawn. The crazy thing it it finally updated the set aside on my record and it is gone!!! as in no account of it..no arrest and no court info....how can this be?
If your conviction is vacated by the court following "judicial clemency" for a probation conviction, then the conviction no longer exists. It is thus removed from your record and does not constitute a conviction for purposes of restrictions on your civil rights.
