Today I read on the checklist to submit my DD-214 (somehow missed that) Do you think it will cause a problem that I submitted them separately? I'm hoping to see status updates by the end of the month. Super pumped about being able to carry here.

I would call DPS and ask them what to do. The instructions say to submit documents only once.

I received three emails, one from DoNotReply@texas.gov, one from RSD_Customer_Relations@dps.texas.gov, and one from noreply@morphotrust.com.

DoNotReply@texas.gov
"This email confirms you have submitted an online application. See below for the checklist of items required to complete your application. . . ."

RSD_Customer_Relations@dps.texas.gov
"We have received your License To Carry supporting documents. Please allow up to six weeks for processing. . . ."

I filled out the application where it you can "log off" & come back later?? , do I have to fill out the off file application too? It seem like to me you would be sending an application twice?? I'm sorry for little ignorance but I'm very new at this CHL application process. Can someone tell me if I have to do the first application & then after I get CHL-100 & fingerprints and then fill the PDFs file application in also? Please just say yes both or no the first only.
Thank you for your kind patience.

APPLICATION
Login here to do the online application: https://txapps.texas.gov/txapp/txdps/chl/ No documents are submitted during this process. Just put entries into fields and then submit when complete. You will then be able to print out a page with info about your application. Print this out for your records.

FINGERPRINTS
After completing the application, you will be given the option to schedule an appointment for fingerprints from a third party (IdentoGO). It is convenient to take advantage of this option, but if you choose not to, you can contact IdentoGO later to schedule an appointment. Fingerprints are done electronically and will be sent to DPS by the fingerprinting company.

CHECKING STATUS OF APPLICATION
Once your application is approved, you can login to renew your license, update your address, etc. While your application is being processed, you can still login, but you will not be given options to renew, update address etc. Alot of applicants login to see if they have the options to renew, update address, etc yet. It is the earliest sign that the application is approved and that the CHL (LTC) card will be in the mail soon.

SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS
After you apply, submit supporting documents here: http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/rsd/contact/default.aspx Supporting documents include the CHL (LTC) course completion document and whatever else is needed. Depending on the particular person and their background, documents such as birth certificate (if foreign born), green card, court records (if their is an arrest record), etc. might be needed.

CONFIRMATION EMAIL
A few days after submitting supporting documents, you will receive a confirmation email from DPS letting you know they received the documents.

Looks like Houston has several locations with Saturday hours.

Great. Appreciate the help.

Is there a place in Houston that will do fingerprints/live scan on the weekend?

I found identogo, but I cannot determine from their website if they do prints/scans on the weekend.
