Today I read on the checklist to submit my DD-214 (somehow missed that) Do you think it will cause a problem that I submitted them separately? I'm hoping to see status updates by the end of the month. Super pumped about being able to carry here.

When I did my renewal I submitted all the documents including my DD-214. Lo and behold, I shortly received a letter telling me I had to either send them the copy of the DD-214 or pay the remaining amount owed. I sent it to them but they obviously don't seem to use all information sent to them online as they say to do.

Just an FYI. I did the renewal process including sending in my supporting document (electronically) for a honorably discharged veteran. Yesterday I received a letter asking me to send in a copy of my DD-214 so they could approve it. In other words it appears that they did not get the supporting document I sent in. I have sent in a request for verification that I in fact need to send in this document.

No, not previously discounted. I didn't even know about it previously.

So how does the system determine a regular renewal vs a renewal with Honorably Discharged Veteran and charge accordingly?

I just realized that I have to renew my license. I don't remember having seen a letter from them but that doesn't mean I didn't get it. Sometimes my wife puts the mail someplace and never tells me I got it.

That said, as I understand it for renewals I only need to send in my CH-77 and for the Honorably Discharged Veteran exemption I would guess I need to send that document in too although the CH-77 never mentions that. As far as the CHL-100, from what I read on their website I do not need to send it in. with regards to the CHL-100 it says:

Per HB 48 (83rd Legislature), continuing education is no longer required for CHL renewal. CHL holders will simply apply online and submit the supporting documents for discounted fees or special conditions. NOTE: At this time, the receipt page (CHL checklist) will still indicate a CHL-100 is required. Programming required to remove this language is underway; until the “check list” is updated, applicants may disregard the statement requiring a CHL-100.

Does this seem to be about right? According to their for it says:

Submission Options
Email at http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/rsd/contact/default.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, select Concealed Handgun and complete the form.

From their I would go to the drop down list until I get to the supporting document list and add the CH-77 and a copy of my DD-214. Is that correct? After that how would I go about paying for it as I am sure they need to review it before giving me the reduced fee?
