A friend of mine just got her CHL a couple of weeks ago. She just noticed that instead of having F for female it has M for male, but she is a female. Don't worry I asked her boyfriend to confirm this and he guarantees that she is a female .

What are the steps she needs to take to correct this??? Can she legally carry until it's fixed?

Well, she can have a sex change operation, but that may not go over with her boyfriend.

I would go the better route and contact the DPS at 1-800-224-5744 or email at chl@txdps.state.tx.us, let them know the issue and they should correct it for her.

As for legal, I don't think that would would be a big issue if everything else is correct. I bet a LEO probably wouldn't even notice it.

Wasn't there a King of the Hill episode that had almost this exact scenario? Must be a Texas thing.....

Tell her not to wait, to contact DPS right away. They take the accuracy of information on the licenses seriously. When I got mine, I thought it sort of amusing that the license showed me to be a year younger than I really am. I called 'em, was assured that it needed to be corrected, and I had the replacement in about two weeks. I was told the incorrect plastic was good until the replacement arrived.

She has made several calls staying on the phone for up to 20 mins, but no answer. She also emailed them two days ago, but still no reply. I know they are swamped right now, but any other ideas????

She can send a letter with return receipt to show that she made a good-faith effort to correct the problem.

Thanks guys for your help. She finally got a response back. They asked her to reply to the email with her full name and drivers license number. I'm guessing they'll send her another license with her correct information.
