The law that removed the requirement for a renewal class was crystal clear that renewal applications must be submitted before the current license expires. That said, DPS is known to be flagrantly ignoring that part of the law so chances are good you can renew without a class. If you want to try, go online and submit the renewal application. https://txapps.texas.gov/txapp/txdps/chl/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;texasmr2 wrote:It has been a few years so howdy everyone.
A Constable friend of mine who is also a CHL instructor told me yesterday that I will have to start the whole process over as if I am a new applicant since my license expired in July. I hold a valid TX Peace Officers license (former Deputy Sheriff) as well as a Level III security license and find it odd but I do not have a problem requalifying. He will requalify me free of charge but is he correct in that I need to start all over again?

Even if you start from scratch, as a Peace Officer, you can avoid the class like so. http://www.dps.texas.gov/RSD/CHL/Licens ... rInstr.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
