The application only lists four required items.
1. Photocopy of CHL
2. Photocopy of DL
3. SASE
4. $26
There is another thread on this specifically around here someplace, don't remember anyone saying anything about photos.
I am sending mine of next week -- ask me in a couple weeks.

UPDATE-- here is the link to the other thread: http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_F ... ty+license" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Interesting question tho -- I may just call them on Mon before I drop this in the mail...

I would expect the police to seize all the weapons on scene. If afterward you have not been arrested for anything, I can see no reason legally you can't go home, get your spare pistol out, and march on -- that's what I would do. But IANAL and all that. NOTE: some police have told me to expect that any gun seized from me will be stamped or engraved with an evidence number, and it won't necessarily be inconspicuous or neat. The officer noted that when his own gun was taken, the evidence technician marked it under the grips, but that that wasn't the usual practice.

As far as having another state's CHL for strictly back up purposes in case your Texas CHL disappears for whatever reason, it seems to me Centre County Pennsylvania wins hands down -- application, $26, copies of Texas DL and CHL, and SASE. If you want to squeeze out reciprocity for an additional state, then you have to go elsewhere.
