Welcome to our world! DPS has historically been slow in passing information to instructors. One of the best ways to find out what is going on is to pay close attention to this forum. Either Charles Cotton will let us know something is coming, or some instructor or student will experience the latest change and let us know. Then DPS will acknowledge it to instructors months down the road.

I find it quite interesting that you sign your affidavits online when you do the application, before you take the class. One of them, "Knowledge of Laws" is the sworn affidavit that you have read and understood Chapters 9 and 46 of the Texas Penal Code. Really? How are you supposed to do that before you take the class? Before you get the LS-16?

I am glad that DPS has taken some of the burden off instructors, and that they are streamlining the process somewhat. I just wish they would have let instructors give some input to this, instead of letting us find out what they did after the fact.
