Okay, after a lengthy hold, I did get through to a human at the Texas DPS office. He directed me to go to this page, and print/fill out/mail the following forms:
http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/RSD/CHL/forms/index.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
CHL-6.pdf
CHL-78a.pdf
CHL-78b.pdf
CHL-78c.pdf
CHL-85.pdf
CHL-86.pdf
In addition, we'll include:
Student VISA
federal I-94 form
Hunting license
Let's see how it goes!

Re: Online CHL application & SSN requirement
We looked into this, and in order to be able to legally purchase a firearm, she has to have a Texas hunting license. We did secure this hunting license. I'd received assurances both from DPS and people on this board who've gone down this path before than she's eligible for a CHL; just don't know how to handle this SSN issue.

However... the DPS online application form requires a SSN before proceeding through the online app process. She doesn't have a SSN. I tried calling the DPS help line, but the CHL department isn't taking phone calls. I've submitted an online inquiry, but thought I'd also see if anyone here knows what to do in this situation.
TIA,

Online CHL application & SSN requirement
I'm helping my girlfriend apply for her CHL. She's an international student, here on an F1 VISA. My understanding is that this wouldn't prevent her from getting a Texas CHL.

I tried calling the DPS help line, but the CHL department isn't taking phone calls. I've submitted an online inquiry, but thought I'd also see if anyone here knows what to do in this situation.
