Dead Time Between Class And Mailing

How long can you hold your things from class before you send it to Austin and it still be valid. Speaking of renewals if it makes a difference.

The Texas Administrative Code says;

1) Proficiency certificate. The applicant must submit a handgun proficiency certificate issued upon successful completion of a handgun proficiency course approved by the department and taught by a certified handgun instructor. A proficiency certificate, which is more than two years old, will not be accepted by the department.

However, if you wait over a year on renewals you would have to retake the class.

Let me ask it this way. If I take the class the first week of December how long can I hold the packet before I mail it for the renewal?

The renewal TR100 is only good for 6 month's from the date of the class.

The first time TR100 is good for 2 years.

She has to be withen 6 mo's of her expiration date to renew and it will take approx. 60 days to reissue yours, that's very close. :cry:

You might have to sit in on the class twice, I let people do that when I have room, I do the same for someone who wants a refresher or just wants to learn, no charge if they are not applying for a license.

We may have to come see you. I was hoping we could take the class and she could just hold her paper work for about 3 months.

You should both pick up Utah permits to hold you over between TX renewals. They are cheap and will be sent out quick since you have a TX CHL.

I thought about that when I seen there was a class given for Utah, but I guess I missed it?
