SECTION 6. Section 411.195, Government Code, is amended to read as follows:
Sec. 411.195. REDUCTION OF CERTAIN FEES FOR SENIOR CITIZENS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, if an applicant for the license is 60 years of age or older, the department shall reduce by:
(1) 50 percent any fee required for the issuance of a duplicate or modified license under this subchapter; and
(2) $5 any fee required for the issuance of a renewed license under this subchapter [if the applicant for the license is 60 years of age or older].
The answer is actually $35. All* Original and Renewal LTCs cost $40 now. Seniors per 411.195(2) get a $5 reduction on the $40 cost of a renewal or original LTC.

ETA:
*Some exceptions for indigency or if you are an active or retired judicial officer.
I too misread that the first time through as seniors paying $5. Got to tie it back to the "reduce by"

Re: SB 16 - priority bill, reduction of LTC fees

According to the Governor's signature page there's no action on SB16. Might be running behind.
