DPS expressly told instructors that we are not to keep test sheets or any scores on the shooting portion of the class. The CHL-100 is the only documentation of passing or failing the classroom and proficiency portions of the course. I have not received any information changing those instructions, so I will continue to comply until an official change.

That said, no argument on the communication breakdown. That's never been one of their strengths.

Instructors do not take a class to renew. It is an online test and have a local instructor verify your proficiency.

I'm looking forward to DPS allowing CHL renewals take the online test and spend 15 minutes on the range instead of half the day in class.

That will require a change in the Government Code. Requiring no class will be difficult and it will likely cost reciprocity with a number of states.

Until and unless DPS makes an official change in policy, I'm doing what I was told to do in the Instructor class on multiple occasions. I'm keeping only the CHL-100's as they show that the student passed both the classroom and range portion of the class.

No. In one of my renewal classes, Star specifically said not to keep test answer sheets. The instructor's copy of the CHL-100 documents the student's having passed the exam and/or proficiency portion of the class.
