Background Check: Under review. Everything else Received or Valid.
Certificate : Issuance pending completion of application review and/or instructor's training

I suspect this confusion is all a result of the fact that they haven't determined exactly how renewal will be done this time - class, proficiency demonstration... And someone probably had the half-baked idea "We better at least get the notices mailed while we figure this out," leaving the staff to try to handle this with very little guidance.

Instructor renewal is $100 + $2 fee for the credit card.

Chas.

Surely it's just a product of the order they chose to send them.

Alphabetically? No
Date of certification? No

OK, maybe it's just you.

Actually, I felt the same after others got theirs while my mailbox was empty.

I got my instructor renewal letter, and I did the online application yesterday. My checklist also listed the CHL-90. I emailed the instructor group at DPS and got this response today:

Mr. Schilling,
No CHL-90 is required on instructor renewals. Please mail only the checklist to the Department. If you like, you can write “instructor renewal” on it.
Thank you.

I don't understand the need to mail in a checklist that has no additional information than what they already have, but it's a small effort for the renewal. I am including a copy of the email with the checklist.
