Steve's right; HB322 was amended to delete the reduction in fees for veterans; but it left in "veterans" in the section dealing with lowering of the CHL age to 18 for military personnel.

Here is the relevant language:

(g) Notwithstanding Subsection (a)(2), a person who is at
least 18 years of age but not yet 21 years of age is eligible for a
license to carry a concealed handgun if the person:
(1) is a member or veteran of the United States armed
forces, including a member or veteran of the reserves or national
guard;


SECTION 4. Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, is
amended by adding Section 411.1951 to read as follows:
Sec. 411.1951. REDUCTION OF FEES FOR MEMBERS OF UNITED
STATES ARMED FORCES. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
subchapter, the department shall reduce by 50 percent any fee
required for the issuance of an original, duplicate, modified, or
renewed license under this subchapter if the applicant for the
license is a member of the United States armed forces, including a
member of the reserves, national guard, or state guard.
SECTION 5. This Act takes effect September 1, 2005.
