Funny you should mention that. Both my drivers license and LTC were up for renewal this year. Unfortunately I got my LTC renewal with my old picture in before I could get to the drivers license office to get a new picture so now I’m like you I have two different pictures that are eight years apart. And trust me when you hit 60 years old there is a big difference in how you look. The good and bad news on the drivers license as I don’t have to go back to the drivers license office for another 16 years. Of course I’ll be 76 if I make it. This may be my very last time I ever had to go to the DMV.allisji wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 11:38 amI agree. I renewed mine in 2020. It was much more simple and quick than I had imagined it would be. Basically just paid the $40 and submitted the renewal and it was done in a couple weeks.
I didn't have to do anything other than apply for renewal and pay the fee.
The only problem that I have is that because I was not allowed in 2020 to visit the driver's license office to renew my TX DL they reused my old photo for my LTC. Now my LTC looks like a 22 year old kid and after I renewed my driver's license a year ago my driver's license looks like 37 year old me. Quite literally looks like two different individuals thanks to Gov. Abbott closing down state offices in 2020 and blanket extending people's drivers' licenses passed their expiration date. Oh well

Re: I let my LTC expire
Best post on this so far. Well said sir.....Charles L. Cotton wrote: ↑Fri Jan 21, 2022 10:25 am With "Constitutional Carry," getting or renewing your LTC is not asking permission to carry a handgun. Doing so is simply exercising an option that renders significant legal benefits.
Chas.
I'm actually surprised at the number of LTC students in class that don't know or vaguely aware that Texas passed CC. However even the ones that do know still want their license mostly for legitimacy, or in their minds anyway. Once I explain the many benefits of having their license it really solidifies their mind that they are making the right choice....

Two, being able to NOT wait around in the LGS when buying a firearm. I just fill out the paperwork, pay them money, and I'm on my way with the firearm.
However, I do understand the rationale for NOT renewing.
1. Reciprocity
2. Faster firearm purchases
3. Passing 30.05 signs. Which I think more and more will go up.
I get the whole 2a thing as well, but them’s the law whether or not you like it. And until it changes why limit yourself. Something that I’ve had multiple discussions about with students, especially young black men is perception. Getting pulled over with a firearm and pulling out your LTC vs not having one can really make a difference in LEO interactions. Especially for them. You can put whatever spin you want on that one, but I’m just trying to be a realist. I also think in a SD situation having your LTC is always going to be more favorably viewed by a grand jury.
