Or he could have meant "renewals for those over 60 years of age."
I don't know, it's not clear at all what he meant.

Group rate!

I think he meant that the 61st (and all subsequent) person to renew each year gets the lower rate.

Would you agree that more people carrying is a good thing in general? If so, why would you want to discourage this?

It's probably a moot point anyways, because I don't think many people get non-resident Texas licenses, when something like a Florida license is easier to get (not having to travel to Texas to take a class).

If the non-resident Texas LTC was free, that might increase the number of people opting for Texas over Florida (or other options). That said, I agree that more people with LTC's, even non-residents, is a good thing. If we want to target taxes just to folks from out of state, there are plenty of ways to do that. How about only charging sales tax to non-residents? If you show a Texas ID, you don't pay sales tax. Or increase hotel taxes, etc., etc.
