I did not wonder around searching for the signs but I did look around while walking with the family from the parking lot to the entrance. We bought our tickets online and printed them at home. Were they at the ticket sales booth? They did search bags and purses. The security guy spotted my wife's badge in her purse and asked where her gun was. She advised them she didn't have one on her.

Wife's badge?

CHL badge?

LEO?

What the heck is a CHL badge???

Thanks for the info, may be a moot point since I still haven't received my CHL. I assumed if it was mailed from Austin on Tuesday, I would have in my hands by Thursday. But I know there have been alot of mail processing centers closed including the one in Lufkin so I guess snail mail has become super snail mail.

It's designed for special needs but kids don't have to be special needs to enjoy it.

Thanks for the info, I just checked out their website and very cool and affordable compared to the other parks. We have two kids and the couple we are going with has two kids so the ages are actually close. Two boys age 8 and 7. Two girls both age 4.

I mailed my App to DPS towards the end of May and assumed there was no way I would have mt CHL in hand before we left on 06/22 for the family vacation for San Antonio. After listening to my instructor and reading other posts I didn't even expect an update on the DPS site for atleast 30 days. Well yesterday my status was updated to MAILED.

Any suggestions going to SA. We are going to Sea World, RIver Walk, Alamo, Water Park, Bass Pro...I have actually read a few threads on here and another site and I there seems to be different opinions regarding Sea World. I have have read they have signs, they don't have signs, they have correct signs, they don't have correct signs.

Also, restaurants? We will have 4 kids with us, so nothing fancy or not kid friendly.

Route? Anyone travel regulary from East Tx to SA? I think we usually go a hwy 21 route. A friend says he drives to Houston and hits I10.

thanks!!
