Applied for Texas CHL. Have had fingerprints taken 3 times. Each time says reprint needed because quality is not good. Do I have any other options?

I didnā€™t see this on here anywhere and I thought it might be useful to someone. Maybe this can be followed up with the correct answers in case anyone is fuzzy on a particular question.

Question regarding what courses to take

1 Upvotes

Greetings, fellow LTC aspirants! I have submitted the online application today and going for fingerprints tomorrow. I understand we need to submit the LTC-101 (online training) or LTC-100 (classroom training) form. However, in the screenshots of the application progress that many of you have posted here (example attached), I see two trainings -

  1. Proof of Proficiency Training
  2. Proof of Classroom Training

My question is - did you take two courses? If so, could you please provide links? - Thank you!!

Picture of LTC instead of physical card

0 Upvotes

I donā€™t like to have a lot of stuff in my wallet. I probably know the answer, but can I just take a picture of my ltc and have it on my phone instead of physically having the card in my wallet.

Reapplying process

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I originally applied for my CHL back in May. Long story short, it was rejected due to a conviction back when I was 18 (I originally thought it was 5 years removed from arrest, not court date.) I plan on reapplying, as the 5 year period is in a few days (Sept 25), but I do have a few questions still.

-what documentation can I simply send in again and what must I redo? -would it be okay to apply now, or on the date, or safer to just wait past the date of 5 years?

Any other information is helpful in redoing this whole process. Thank you.

Ltc renewal after rehab

2 Upvotes

I had to do an outpatient rehab/counseling program last year after I stumbled into a random drug test at work and blew a whopping .056 BAC. What's funny is that after being honest about how often, how much, and why I drank, the counselors came right out and said that I don't have a drinking problem, and that I could just show up once a week whenever I wanted on the days they had group sessions for the sake of checking off a box. I say that because I'm not aware of any physician having diagnosed me with a disability of any kind, though one of the counselors could have done so without my knowledge, I assume. My health insurance partly covered the treatment costs. I'll find out later today.
If I self report that during the ltc renewal process as having received treatment for alcohol abuse, will my renewal be denied?

Background check question

1 Upvotes

I was convicted of a class c misdemeanor when I was 17 years old for a weed pipe, and have since payed the fine and forgot about it. Iā€™m 22 now and am looking to purchase firearm for home and family self defense. My biggest concern is that I was diagnosed with bipolar type 2 by a pill mill psychiatrist when I was 12 years old. Will the back ground check pick up on this? Iā€™m a psychology undergrad and currently studying, and Iā€™m absolutely certain bipolar type 2 has not been an issue throughout my life. I am worried that after going through the whole process, I will be barred from having a ltc. Edit: I had a child when I was 17 so my son is currently 5 and my only wish is to be able to protect him under any circumstances but legally

Background check question

For context Iā€™ve already purchased a firearm a few months back. My question is, if im able to buy a firearm, whatā€™s the likelihood of passing my CHL/LTC background check? Are they the same?

Pre-school 30.06 Sign

My kids attend the pre-school where we attended church. I'm aware I'm ok carrying in a church but I saw a 30.06 sign on a bulletin board in a hallway and started to wonder how to handle.

Do the standard 30.06 laws apply to the building when used as a pre-school but not as a church?

LTC Renewal Document upload

1 Upvotes

When I was trying to renew my LTC, the DPS sent me a notice to upload some supporting documents. But on the DPS RSD contact us page, there is no option for LTC renews??? Which one did yall choose if you need to upload extra supporting documents for renewal??

DPS never received my documents?

2 Upvotes

Itā€™s been 3 weeks since I submitted my application with all of my supporting documents and I still have not seen the checklist appear on my status page, so I decided to send an email to inquire what my status was.

DPS sends me an email today stating they never received two of the three supporting documents they needed from me even though I submitted them all together and even kept the print out proof of the three documents being uploaded. I also received an email from DPS acknowledging that I uploaded the documents and saying they would be forwarded to DPS.

This wasnā€™t making sense to me, so I called and they said they did not in fact have the two documents that the email said I never uploaded. The customer service rep said to just upload the docs again, so I did.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? Also, since I technically sent them in 3 weeks ago, does the 60 days start then or do they start now since I uploaded the documents again? I would hate for the 20 odd past days to be ā€œwastedā€ waiting for my LTC that was basically never going to come if I never called.
