In HB2730 of last years legislature, called the DPS Sunset Bill, a lot of provision were included in this huge bill of hundreds of pages. Several positive things for CHL'ers were included like no penalty for not immediatly showing CHL to LEO's,and the 51% sign defense to prosecution. The law mandated that CHL instructors be permitted to renew every other 2-year renewal online with provision for them to be able to completed the process in each county in the state. One would presume that they will have a provision for another instructor to administer the shooting portion of the process for another insturctor's renewal. It was mandated that system be in efect as of March 1, 2010. I am not confidant at this time that that date will stand because I have contacted them about that very thing and no one there seems to be aware of the mandated date.

In that same bill, there was a provision 'authorizing' DPS to devise an online course for CHL's, but there is not mandate for it so it is optional and per Charles, it is not under active consideration at this time.

If you would like to refer to the bill it is on the DPS CHL website:
