DPS application fee?

[Sidewayz]

I was not aware there were any fees in addition to the fee Im paying for my CHL class. Until a friend said the DPS fee is $150. Can someone please confirm that there is a fee and how much. I didn't see anything about it on the DPS website.

Thanks for the help

Normal fee is $140. There are some who pay less.

Q: How much will a concealed handgun license cost?
A: For most Texans, the license will cost $140. But for senior citizens or indigent Texans, the cost is only $70. For active/honorably retired peace officers or active/retired judicial officers, the cost is $25. For elected felony prosecuting attorneys, fee is waived.

It's also 70.00 for Vet's unless you are still active or 365 day's of discharge it will be free.

You need to check with your instructor. I am aware of some who include the application fee with the class fee and send in you package for you.
