I just realized that I’ve been carrying a handgun for the last 3 1/2 months with an expired LTC. Totally forgot about it expiring on my birthday. Sure glad I didn’t get checked, man. Just submitted the on line app & fee for the renewal. This is my first time renewing. I know they have up to 45 days to renew, but how long does it normally take? Going forward I need to set a reminder on my phone or something to renew in advance, now I have to wait until it is renewed to carry again. Lesson learned.

Mine took 3-4 weeks during the middle of the Chinese virus mess.

How old are you gramps? This you’re first time to renew? You’re behind the curve.

I suppose it's better to pay the crown late rather than never to buy your rights back.
The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.

It’s a shame that these things have to be done (in many states) to exercise a right granted by the Constitution.

As long as your prints are still considered “FBI”’acceptable and your records haven’t changed, you can renew online up to 12 months after expiration. $40 plus a couple weeks waiting and you are back to carrying that pea shooter in style.
Funny thing about getting older: Your eyesight starts getting weaker but your ability to see through people's BS gets much better.

You can make application to renew 6 months prior to expiration so set your reminder way ahead of time and you won't have to sweat it, next time.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

Did they drop the requirement for any sort of class for a renewal?

Did they drop the requirement for any sort of class for a renewal? Yes. As long as you renew with it 12 months of expiration, it is an online renewal with no additional training or class needed. If you miss the 12 month renewal the. You have to start over as a new applicant. FAQ from DPS. “Is there a requirement to take a continuing education course before I can renew my Texas License to Carry a Handgun (LTC)? Per HB 48 (83rd Legislature), continuing education is no longer required for LTC renewal. License holders will simply apply online and submit the supporting documents for discounted fees or special conditions. NOTE: It is the license holder’s responsibility to remain informed and knowledgeable of new laws.”
