It looks as though us oldfolks are gonna get a 50% break on renewals. $35 sure beats hell outta $70. Perhaps this is the 'camels nose' toward lowering all of the costs.

HELL! I'll be dead by then.

The less money for the gov and the more money for the DPS the better. When it comes to money matters I trust the DPS much more than I trust the gov. The DPS can't afford to waste money the way the gov does.

I emailed the DPS. They emailed me back that info. If you want you can email them and see what they say. Oh! They didn't tell me the governor likes to eat well. That was my political humor for the day.

The fee's in Houston for the CHL are 100.00+ (classroom instruction). You pay less the farther from Houston you are. By up to 30.00 anyway. The 140.00 you pay to the DPS is used to pay the DPS for the time and paperwork they do. Which amounts to about 20 dollars more or less. The rest of that money goes to the Governor of Texas which he puts in his private (general) fund to do with as he wishes. This is the info I recieved from the DPS. The governor likes to eat well.
