... If my sister's friend who I found out works for DPS in Austin rushed my application? Not saying that he could/would, but if he did, should I feel shame?

I'm in for the wait. Lucky for me I have a wedding and honeymoon in two weeks to help pass the time.

I just came across this problem. My suggestion to you is put down EVERYWHERE you have lived that has your name on the lease for the past five years. It'd be better to list all those and them not needing it rather than them kicking back the application and you having to wait longer.

Just my ...

Thanks for the reply. I'll make sure to include a photocopy of both my passport and certificate.

And I went ahead and listed all the places that I've lived at that has my name on the lease. Figured better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Hopefully soon I'll become a member of an elite group.

#1 & #3 didn't cross my mind til I read the checklist.

I asked about #2 and he wasn't quite sure as he hadn't come across the situation. He told me to call DPS (and will barring no can help me).

Did my initial class last weekend and had a few questions.

1. The officer who did our finger printing also signed the back of our passport photos. Was this wrong? Will it get kicked back?

2. Became a citizen in 2007. What and were do I put my (former) alien number on the application? And do I just ...

Thanks for the info. This was exactly what I was searching for!

Just noticed the sticky.

New to the gun scene thanks to my best friend. Working on trying to get my CHL, which I'm finding difficult/expensive with my work schedule.

I just want to say I've ...

Thanks everyone for the fast replies. Now does anyone know where I can take the class on a Wednesday and Thursday? I have a weird schedule. I live in Gainesville, but I'd be willing to go as far as Lewisville or even Carrolton.

I'm in the process of becoming a citizen. I was wondering if I should hold off on getting my CHL. Will I have to "update it" when I do become a citizen? Will it also be easier for me to get it because I am a citizen?

Thanks in advance to whatever help and advice y'all can give.

I'm pretty new to the Gainesville area (near the TX/OK border) and am a bit surprised that they have no gun ranges around. I usually shoot once a week, but have to drive all the way to Dallas to do so.
