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....

Re: Signed up for class, still awaiting DPS packet
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.Vic wrote:So if mine follows the same timeline as yours, it will be next week before mine shows up in the mailbox.
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.
