Re: Signed up for class, still awaiting DPS packet

When I called the Bullet Trap in Plano to schedule my class, I asked if I should pay online or not. They told me not to mess with the online application, and I'm glad I didn't. I just showed up at class, got a packet from my instructor, and didn't have to wait for DPS to mail me anything. In general, I would recommend that if someone is in a hurry to take the class, just get a packet from your instructor. Otherwise you have to wait for the DPS to mail you your packet, and as we've seen, that is sometimes not a timely process.

Just my two cents....

Here's what I don't understand: My CHL class is this Saturday. If my DPS packet doesn't show up until after the class, how do I handle that situation? I cannot use the instructor-supplied forms and fingerprint cards. Can I just bring the packet to the instructor once it shows up (and still take the class even though my packet hasn't arrived)? Or, do I need to postpone the class until after the packet show up?

It is not really a hassle to take the class, skip their forms, and drive back up there once my DPS packet shows, since the class takes place at the gun range I practice in anyway, so the drive is not out-of-the-way.
I'd suggest calling your CHL instructor and asking them what they want you to do. They might even suggest postponing your class for a week or two until your packet arrives.
