under this section is dishonored or reversed may reapply for a duplicate
license at any time, provided the application fee and a dishonored
payment charge of $25 is paid by cashier's check or money order
made payable to the "Texas Department of Public Safety."
I didn't think that you needed to get an updated hunters ed certificate when you changed your address. It's a certification and not a license and has no expiration date... Or so I thought. Looks like I'll need to check this out and make a few phone calls.txcshooter wrote:Address changes: for Hunter's Ed Cert submitted 10/2/10, recv'd 5 days later...for CHL submitted 10/2/10, recv'd 6 days later...for TXDL submitted 9/17/10, haven't recv'd as of yet.
Let me know what you find out because I may need to get mine changed if that is the case. I highly doubt that it matters though. Like you said, it is a one time certification.CaptWoodrow10 wrote:I didn't think that you needed to get an updated hunters ed certificate when you changed your address.
