If you have any CHL questions you need
researched, email me. I will to get back to you with an answer or a resource:

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.
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.

WHAT IS THE TOTAL
COST
FOR YOUR FIRST TIME CHL?
Here's the skinny...
The class (mine) is $95. It includes class, notary, photos,
range fees, and fingerprinting.
Add to this the Texas DPS fee for the license of $140 for a four year term if
you have no exemptions. This $140 is paid directly to TXDPS either when you pre-register with them (recommended) or when you
mail your application package after class.
So, adding it all up, it's $95, plus $140,
for a total cost of $235. That's the whole story.
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.
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.

What do I do next?
After registering above for class space,
I highly recommend the on-line Preregistration at TXDPS for your course materials. I can provide blank course materials, but
it does help to start the process early with TXDPS if you have about two weeks lead time.
No matter whose CHL
class you choose (jeez, I hope it's me) , use this service. It's great. Just click on this link.
Texas Concealed Handgun Licensing Bureau
It is fast and easy, and it will establish eligibility, complete some of your forms for you, and allow you to prepay the TXDPS
license fee on-line. You need to allow two weeks lead time before class, but if you can't get it done, I will provide you
with the materials you need.
