I don't know if you guys know this or not but DPS has a serious problem going on with keeping their troopers on the payroll.
There was an article written a couple of weeks ago about most troopers wanting to retire because of low morale and being overworked. Its getting so bad that there's a vacancy of about 200 positions and only about 100 candidates available. No one wants to become a trooper anymore like in the past sad to say.
And now when the overwhelming task of processing the flooding of CHL applications, it has got DPS in another bind.
We have to remember that not only does the department deal with the entire state of Texas highways but also the driver's license departments and the processing of the CHL's.
I don't want to get into an argument of politics but now that we may have a democratic president it may change our lives as how we may buy, sell guns and ammunition. Hence, more applications for CHL'S in Texas than ever before.
I know how most would be frustrated with the long time it takes to receive your license but we must be patient with our troopers and their civilian employees. And be glad that we are in a state which gives us the right to bear arms.
I for one will apply for my renewal early next year well before my license expires.
