I don't understand this. The reason we renew in odd years is so we'll have an update on any changes in the law. This is also why all renewal classes began after the legislative session was over. Granted, I suspect all instructors here on TexasCHLforum will be up on the changes.garcia946 wrote:Just finished exam , mailed out checklist tomorrow , like I was told and we`ll see what happens....
You are right, Charles. Those here will know. But I talk to instructors all the time who don't know that their fingerprints won't be accepted by DPS after March 1. They don't know why they have not received the application packets they ordered months ago. They don't know that photos and fingerprints aren't required for renewals. I could go on and on...Charles L. Cotton wrote:I don't understand this. The reason we renew in odd years is so we'll have an update on any changes in the law.

The password was given out when you passed the instructor's course. The test is online, and there is nothing you need do to "submit" it, other than take it online. It will be scored after you take it (online) and you'll immediately be informed of the results. You can print out the notification if you want it for your records.mec wrote:no were in the material they sent me-the renewal notice or on the online application /payment page did they even mention the existence of a test. Twice, I have requested the courtesy of an e-mail clarification of just what they might want but this has not been answered. I reached the agency by telephone and had the existenct of a test confirmed to me.
Since I have not ordered certificates in some time, I do not have the password they are requesting for access to the test. Nor do I have any information about how to submit the test to them. I have requested these items via e-mail but am growing more and more convinced that I want nothing more to do with this agency.
Are you asking me? I knew the test was there, but didn't know that the instructor's password unlocked it. We were told last year (at instructor's school) that the renewal test was going to be online "soon". Certainly DPS has done a "lovely" job of getting that information out there, though there has been much discussion of it here on this forum. I'm not defending DPS, just answering some of mec's questions/complaints. I have a few complaints about DPS myself, but divorcing myself from DPS seems like "cutting off my nose despite my face".Crossfire wrote:So, how are we supposed to know that we need to complete the written test when NOWHERE in the renewal documents is there any mention of the test?
I agree. What should we do about it?Crossfire wrote:SJF - YOU know the test is there. I know the test is there.
But, what about all the instructors who don't read the forum? Where in your renewal paperwork did you see anything about the test? Are you sure it is required? How do we know?
So many questions... so little info from DPS...
