More details to this question:
I was convicted of a class a misdemeanor punishable by more than one year in prison 20 years ago (1993). Since the passing of the brady bill i have not been able to legally buy a firearm. Is there any way to get this expunged? Is there not a time limit on when I will be able to legally obtain a firearem again?

There are some restrictions to expunction and non-disclosure. If you have successfully completed deferred adjudication or probation successfully, you may be able to have your record expunged. If you aren't eligible for expunction, you may be able to obtain a non-disclosure, which will keep your criminal history off of a background check. You can't have any other convictions on your record, and the judge can actually deny your request for non-disclosure.
