I have one & will start trying to trace it down as soon as I get off the board here.

I was one of the biggest sceptics. When I went to Instructor School. Angelina County was one of the last areas with a long drive to any L-1 office. Closest was Houston or Tyler. From my classroom to either of them was just over 100 miles.

Now all L-1 locations do them. I have given my students the option since July. I have only had one lady choose rolled prints after knowing the time frame of electronic sending as opposed to the snail mail.

I have learned that folks who are not comfortable on the computer can learn easily if they want to. I set up a time for them to call & I walk them throu the 1st part. Getting on line & finding the DPS website. Show them where to start. AFter that it is info they know & when all is filled out click next.

We are going to start having a laptop at the class. Anyone wanting to apply on line will be able to there & have help during the break time.

I am an old school, bald headed, RedNeck, country boy.
I have said for a WHILE that I knew this was coming.
I know some of the old hands that have been doing the prints for ages & are really good at it dont have many rejected.
Over all it is a good thing & now even in the areas that I know of where folks still have to drive, say 25 miles, those are the really rural small town or community (where I wish I could live) & they still have to come to Lufkin to shop sometime.
So far I have only had one complaint from those that have chosen L-1.
Now I am almost ashamed to say it but I am a convert.

Yes & I still thank you for the help during my time of learning.

I got mine about May. We are both in the same boat.
OH well.

I have to pay rent out of my $90.00 too.
$65.00 is what I get for renewal.

I am $90.00 & not preplanning to reduce if I dont have to.

not that fast.

Folks on the board here that use fast print appear to be getting their license 30-45days.

Folks that have done paper & ink prints in my class have reported the full 60days or a little over.
I am the new kid on the block. Started in July. None of my August students have reported getting theirs yet.

W/ what Charles said about the ink prints haveing to be photoed & sent, that makes a lot of sence as to the time difference.

I will say & especially w/ the fact that DPS is working to improve. A yr ago folks here had to drive 100 miles to get to houston or Tyler for Fast Prints. Now we have them in Lufkin. I am seeing the folks in my classes that do electronic prints ghet their License 3-5 weeks faster than the ones who have asked me to roll them.

I have copied the DPS statement that March 1 they will require only electronic. I will read it to my folks & my print kit is staying at the house.

Having to scan the ink prints is another reason for them being rejected & being slower.
Thanks to Charles for his work & Thanks to DPS for helping us.

THey are continuing to expand. When I was in Instructor school middle of June the one in Lufkin did not do CHL prints. Shortly after I got back they added that feature.

They are continuing to expand locations & I know of no location now that is open that does not do CHL prints.

The one issue I find a problem for some is hrs open. Lufkin is only open Fri & Sat. either 8-5 or 9-5.
