Has DPS been doing any CE for instructors?

You should hold off until the legislative session is ended and DPS can determine what requirements will be needed to renew for CHL's and instructors per the changes that should be coming on the shortened initial class and no renewal class.

This communication is being sent to each of you regarding the CHL Instructor renewal process.

The renewal period for CHL Instructors is not set to begin until six (6) months prior to the certificate expiration. Unfortunately, a renewal notification was mailed too early to those CHL Instructors whose certificate expires on December 31, 2013. We apologize for the miscommunication and want to ensure each of you is provided accurate information regarding the renewal requirements.

Regulatory Services Division (RSD) is requesting each CHL Instructor provide a completed CHL-90 (Concealed Handgun Instructor Supplemental Information) Form (attached – also available in the downloadable forms section located on our website). The completed form may be emailed to RSD_LRS_CHL@dps.texas.gov. This will enable RSD to work with each applicant independently to ensure all qualifications are met well in advance of the expiration date. For more information regarding the requirements noted on this form, please see our frequently asked questions (#44) found on our website at: http://www.dps.texas.gov/RSD/CHL/faqs/index.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
Additionally, as you know, part of the renewal process includes continuing education training provided by the Department. Since there is proposed legislation that could impact the renewal training, RSD has not finalized the renewal procedures. Once the session has concluded, RSD will reach out to each CHL Instructor and provide information on the final procedures for completing the renewal process.

Should you have additional questions, we may be contacted at http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/rsd/contact/default.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
