Hey Edward,

Thanks for the quick response!
Did you go with roller or ceramic?
What is recommended?

Thanks!

If I remember right this is what I went with. It`s the same one I used to qualify with at the PD.

Got mine from sirchie also.

Just curious are you LEO or do you have "the letter" ?

Great question. I plan to get the letter.
Does the letter have to be from my local PD or any in TX?

[garcia946]

No , I got if from my local PD LEO , was pretty easy once I found someone that would do it for me.That took awhile.
Once I got the "letter" , I called Austin told them I had it , faxed it in and mailed the original in , but I made a couple of copies for myself in case of any problems.
As long as it`s from a PD that shows you are qualifed to do fingerprints you can get the "Letter" on PD letterhead.
Now the LEO does not do a class or anything like that. I walked in with my wife, LEO said" heres the kit , show me".
Acouple days later he brought me the "letter".

Did you type the letter or is there a fixed format that is needed?

[garcia946]

No , "letter" comes from PD. They do it once your done.
