Re: Getting my CHL back after DWI Suspension

Can anyone tell me or direct me to the right place to read what I will need to do to get my CHL back? I know in my heart that the answer is probably that I will have to start completely over, taking the course and recertifying with my handgun however, I'm hoping someone will tell me it will be easier that all that...maybe just re-certify and apply???
Remember what you paid for free advice from anonymous, internet, gun fanboys. IANYL. Eh eh. Resources to find your own answer: I looked at government code 411.186 (revocation), 411.187 (suspension), 411.172 (eligibility). I think suspension means it is not valid for a period of time. If it's suspended, it will automatically go back to it's validity (subject to applicable expiration) at the time the suspension is up. I think revocation means it's gone. If it's revoked, you gotta get a new one with a whole new application.
