| alright guy i turn 21 this weekend, so after you take your class do you mail in the forms or take them to the sheriffs department? and when do you get your physical license and when can you start carrying? |
You might have better results asking in the Texas Home Town forum. I had to take my completed for, minus signature, to the county court house and apply. Then get fingerprinted electronically across the street. I ended up getting my lisence in the mail in 2 weeks. YMMV |
| Here in Florida... take a class or have a DD214. Go the sheriff office get packet, get finger prints made. Mail off packet with 2 passport size photos with your check. Wait 4-6 weeks and your FFL arrives in the mail. 5 years later they send you a later for renewal and you send them $60 for 5 more years. Not sure in TX. |
+1 It will take a few months to get your license, and you can't carry until it's in your hands. It took my under 2 months to get mine back, and it took over 3 for my fiance to get hers. |
I sent my application off yesterday. I can only hope it arrives in two weeks. I made a bet with one of my friends that it would not arrive until 2007 because the DPS here in Louisiana is backlogged like you wouldn't believe. Then again, my buddy and I both have "friends" at the DPS, so he may call them to fast track my application so that he can get a free lunch at a restaurant of his choosing
