Welcome to the forum Sam. Lots of Austin people here, including me.
Good luck on your CHL tests.

Welcome calix and ru934, and all.
Lots of useful information here and many knowledgable people.

Thanks for the welcome.

Actually, I've been living/working in the Austin area for almost 3 yrs.
now. This is really nice place to live, expecially w/ a family. The
slower pace of life here is a welcome change from silicon valley.

I'm trying to convince my wife to go for her CHL... and she's
actually not opposed to it! We'll see.

Hi,

I'd like to first thank the forum maintainers for this forum. It's
really nice to have one devoted to TX especially laws are so
state-dependent.

I started shooting w/ my first handgun in 1994, a Glock 17. (I
still have my IL handgun purchase permit from that time frame;
was just looking at it yesterday.) I kind of stopped shooting
for a few years, then restarted when I moved to CA then TX.I'm
really into it the past 6 mo. for unknown reasons :)

Finally decided to get a TX CHL this August. So I don't have my
CHL yet. I just called DPS yesterday and verified that they've
received my application (the person I spoke to also mentioned
that they've mailed my PIN #... which is an extra incentive for
me to check mail) Yes, I check my US mail about once per
week.

I'm a US citizen, but of Chinese nationality... so CHL is needed
here in TX. Ok, just kinding. Actually, almost all the Texans I've
met are very friendly.

Handguns I currently have: Glock 19, SigPro 2009, Bersa
thunder380, Kahr PM9.
