If you do, just photoshop this one. Re-post it, and send them a URL. That ought to be good enough!Fire1141 wrote:I was reading the handgun laws as I wait in the waiting room.

Yeppers, although mine didn't take an extra 4 months. But I got in just ahead of the curve when DPS got so far behind. Mine took 72 days from when I sent in the paperwork to when I got my plastic. But they didn't ask me for my Birth Certificate until I was about 45 days into the process. I was born in Morocco of an American father and French mother.stealthcrf wrote:Just a note: If you were a US citizen born abroad, You will need your state department BC. My CHL was held up almost 4 extra months for this little nugget of info they don't share. (Even funnier when citizenship isn't a requirement)
Wow..Annoyed Man. I always though the cowboy hat was your "born in TX" symbol!The Annoyed Man wrote:Yeppers, although mine didn't take an extra 4 months.

Now the terrible truth... ScottDLS (yankee?), born in ahhhh...eeeh... Cambridge, MA
Oh, how will I live it down? Grandma ScottDLS (maternal) born in Mexico, naturalized in US later. Does that help my TX credentials?
TAM, you had to send in a birth certificate and not a Certificate of Citizenship? I was born in Seoul to an American father and South Korean mother and my birth certificate was surrendered to the State Department at birth and I was given a Certificate of Citizenship. I sent a copy of that in with my application and had no delays.The Annoyed Man wrote:Yeppers, although mine didn't take an extra 4 months.

What a small world. Same here! Born in Republic of Korea; father was in US Army, mom was ROK national. But your state department certificate should read "Certificate of Birth of US Citizen Abroad," so it really acts as your birth certificate, although it contains no info on your birth weight, height, time of birth, etc.Kythas wrote:TAM, you had to send in a birth certificate and not a Certificate of Citizenship?

Do any of you born overseas actually have your birth certificates?
Nope, sorry. That's my "walked into an antique shop in Wimberley with money burning a hole in my pocket" symbol. If it helps, I do speak with a natural drawl, and saying things like "fixin' to" and "hey, y'all watch this" do come naturally to me.ScottDLS wrote:Wow..Annoyed Man.
