I had mine done a place in Garland next door to Handgun Academy.
As it was explained to me, L-1 Identity Solutions was the only company that was able to meet the state's requirements for data security. There were a couple other reasons why they chose L-1, but I can't remember them right now.

I appreciate all the comments, but I was hoping to get some possible solutions for the issues I originally posted. Here they are again…

1. What can be done for those who can't make it during work week and the closest L-1 locations are not open on the weekend?

2. What can be done for the people who don't live close to an L-1 location and don't have the means for travel? Texas is a big state and I'm quite certain there are places where people will have to travel 90 miles or so to get to an L-1 location.

3. What can be done to get L-1 to allow more businesses to offer this service? FYI…I'm aware of a couple businesses that wanted to offer the electronic fingerprinting and L-1 turned them down because they already had another location within 20 miles or so. I'm not sure of the exact criteria, but it was something like that.
I'm afraid the only answer to number 1 will be to take a day or a half a day off from work.
Number2? I got nothing. Maybe bum a ride from a friend or relative.
Number3? The range where I instruct is one of those places.
I can only hope that after a year or so, the state will start to notice the number of complaints that roll in, and will either mandate that L-1 accept more franchises, provide better hours, or go back to accepting rolled prints. I don't expect either of those things to happen.
