Texas new CHL rules

[downwind]

Just found this out in the nick of time for my 3rd renewal:

Texas Concealed Handgun License Renewals:

As of September 1, 2013 class time and range time not required for CHL renewals.

Previously, for 3rd time renewals, only the firing portion was required, with the classroom only required every 10 years.
Then, online application without any class or range time for 3rd renewals.
Now, it looks like ALL renewals are exempt from any class or range time.

Will be greatly interested if it in fact becomes true on Sept 1.

Don't see any info about this on Tx DPS website

I would have thought that was a given in Texas. Any chance they will go the way of Arkansas and become unrestricted?

I imagine, after 10 years of carry, they figure you know what the hell you are doing. I love my state of Texas!
