If you have any CHL questions you need
researched, email me. I will to get back to you with an answer or a resource: onedaychl@gmx.us A word of caution...the range portion is not the place to learn how
to shoot. The CHL firearm qualification is timed and individual coaching just isn't possible. My concentration is strictly
on group safety.

WHAT IS THE TOTAL
COST FOR YOUR FIRST TIME CHL? Here's the skinny...
The class (mine) is $95. It
includes class, notary, photos, and range fees. Add to this the Texas DPS fee for the license of $140 for a four to five
year term (based on your birthday, like you DL) if you have no exemptions. This $140 is paid directly to TXDPS either when
you pre-register with them. Then you go to the L1 fingerprinter and pay them their $10. So, adding it
all up (if no discounts), it's $95 (you pay me), plus $140 (you pay to the state), plus $10 fingerprints for a total
cost of $245. That's the whole story.
A license is valid for five years for renewals,
and four years plus for new applicants. It's based on your birthday. For those of you renewing, the TXDPS CHL license
renewal fee is $70 (as opposed to the $140 initial fee), and licenses renewed are now valid for five years. My renewal class
costs $75.
TXDPS offers 50% licensing fee reduction for folks over 60, honorably discharged
military, and such. Call me for specifics.
By the end of the day, you will have a complete application package
to mail to TXDPS. Use this as a comparison if you are shopping for a class and be sure everything is included. I encourage
you to ask questions.
Also for your consideration... I use only modern, air-conditioned classrooms in convenient
locations, and a full multi-media presentation system with videos and it really makes the class fun and fast. Hope y'all will
choose One Day CHL. See you there.

If
you need help or are a little rusty, arrange for a private session with me. I can help in as little
as two hours.
Also, please, please have a
clean gun. I have had many people fail to qualify for CHLs from jams caused by a dirty firearm.
The way I look at it, if you show up for CHL qualification
with a dirty gun, it leads me to believe that you are probably going to carry it dirty, and that could
cost you your life.
