I haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere, although I could easily have missed it -- but in reading through HB2730 (which becomes effective 01 September) it appears that DPS has eliminated the 60+30 day time requirement for issuance of a license. The 60 rule still applies, after which DPS shall
"(3) Notify the applicant in writing that the department is unable to make a determination regarding the issuance or denial of a license to the applicant within the 60-day period prescribed by this subsection and include in that notification an explanation of the reason for the inability and an estimation of the amount of time the department will need to make the determination."
It seems they will now have to provide a time estimate for issuance rather than adhere to a specific additional 30-day time limit. This is on pages 145 & 146 of the bill, which I found at http://www.legis.state.tx.us/tlodocs/81 ... 02730F.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Someone correct me if I am wrong (I'm sure that will happen) Seriously, I want to understand this.
As best as I can tell looking over it quickly section .177(c) is not modified in the ameded statute; so the 90 day limit remains
Okay, now I understand. I was only looking at the amended provisions contained in HB2730, and not at what wasn't amended (and therefore not included in the bill). Thanks for setting me straight. The 60+30 day rule still applies.
