Apply for TxCHL while deployed
Posted: Tue Apr 19, 2016 2:35 pm
Greeting and apologies up front if any of this is answered elsewhere, I did search.
I am currently deployed, on active duty, Texas resident. I have filled out the online portion of the application for CHL but wonder if there is anyway that I could complete the rest of the process and have the license by the time I return next year? I ask this because my wife and I plan a large road trip to sort of celebrate as soon as I return and I would like to legally carry.
I have a range card, can send in the LES and copy of the ID as per the instructions but the difficulty is the 4 hour block of instruction and the fingerprinting.
I am simply curious why any of the other sets of fingerprints I have on file in various places do not work (we do fingerprints with the DL now yes, the army has a set) but I digress. Is there a way to accomplish the fingerprint portion and send it in? I could certainly get some of the CID guys or MP guys to hook me up?
What about the 4 hour instruction bit? Is there anyone that offers such online? Sounds like a far fetched question but I gotta ask. Can I use the instruction certificate I previously had for a Utah CC to meet the requirement?
Last question. Lets just assume none of what I ask above is correct and I redeploy with the online app done but I still need fingerprints and a 4 hour class. Is it possible to sorta knock that out fast and turn it in with the rest of the packet and get it turned around quick enough to allow me to legally carry on our trip like two week turn around?
Thanks in advance for any answers and suggestions.
