Not counting the class etc, how much does a new CCL cost?

$150?

It's been a while, but I think it cost me $300 total several years ago, and for some reason, I seem to remember that half of the cost was the class.

If you are a veteran I think your able to get 50% off after Sept. 2007.

I just took the class last saturday. It was $100 for the class(all inclusive:fingerprints, photos, notory, range time and targets). $140 for the license application to the state. If you are over 60 or a veteran within 1 year of discharge, the application is only $70.

Randtx,

According to the law passed last Sept. You can get the fee waived if you are less than 365 days from discharge. Here is what I copied from the DPS site:

HB 233 Waiver of licensing fees for certain members of the military & veterans
• Complete waiver of fee (change from 50% reduction) for current and recently (within 365 days) honorably discharged members of certain military.
• Provides for 50 % reduction in fees if the applicant for the license is a veteran who, more than 365 days preceding the date of the application, was honorably discharged from the branch of the service in which the person served.
• Defines "veterans" in part by refering to definition of "state military" provided in Section 431.001 of Gov't Code, thus limiting the scope of the fee waiver for veterans of state military to veterans of the Texas state military.

Sorry, I had a brain fart, you are correct. Veterans are 50% off. All I do know is my completed packet was sent off on Monday and now the long wait (not really that long) begins.

I hope I didn't come across as a SA, as that was not my intention. I am going to get mine after I get totally moved and I remember someone telling me about that.

I did not take it as you being a SA. You were correct with what you said. When you take the class, ask around about the instructors. It is at least a 10 hour class. All day classes can get pretty boring. The instructor I had was great. Very informative, great personality, made the class a joy to be in. Never got bored during the class.

So as A verteran who was honorably discharged in 91 I get a discount?

Great.

Think I'm gonna take mine at the Ammo Depot in Caddo Mills.

$100.00 for everything sept passport photo.

Upon your third CHL renewal, it only costs $25!!

Do you have to renew it every year? and also do you have to be 21?

No you don't have to revnew it every year... I think it's every 3 years. It's sooo nice being able to carry
