I personally don't care HOW it gets passed. They can tack it onto a bill for credit cards, road tariffs, exports, or the price of wheat------as long as it DOES GET PASSED! For any of you who ever travel to Corpus Christi, take a ride down PArk Road 22 (South Padre Island Drive) toward the entrance t...

Voting "yes" were 27 Democrats, 39 Republicans and 1 independent I think this illustrates how much politcial power we can bring to bear through groups like the NRA and TSRA. The Dems voted "yes", which certainly goes against everything we hear about theri "agenda". The...

I've noticed that all of the CHL classes at the two ranges where I shoot seem really full. Out of curiousity, I asked both of the rangemasters about it. One of them gives two classes a month, and is basically full up (with a few openings) through May and June. The other has been trying to ramp up an...

cowboyrob - - - - - - don't know whether you're right or wrong on that, I'm an old retired engineer and you need a lawyer. Perhaps Mr. Cotton can comment. Mine took 120 days, with 3 retakes of my fingerprints. And it's depressing to wait. But here's my opinion. You as an individual can't do much. Th...

not sure anyone knows that answer! I just posted complaining about sending in my third set. I'm at 120 days today. I'm guessing it's time to start thinking about enlisting some help from your state rep or senator. I don't KNOW that this will help, but I do know you'll at least hear from the DPS if t...

yoyo - - - - - - - - don't ask. the answers will only upset you. I'm at 120 and still holding, and still writing and calling state reps. You'll hear a herd of similar stories here. All we can do is wish each other good luck and wait it out. You might want to read some of the posts on wait times, and...

I starting to regret NOT CALLING SOONER. My fingerprints kicked back after 6 weeks, had them re-scanned, and then they kicked back again after another 6 weeks. (3 sets to date) At that point, I wrote up the problem and hand-delivered it to my State Rep. Actually was contacted by the DPS within 2 day...

Follow-up: At least I'm now getting some action. I dropped a letter off at my State Rep's office on April 2, and received a "we're checking it out" email from them on 4/3. This morning I received a call from a very polite young worker at the DPS, who explained that fingerprints often do go...

Thanks for the advice, all! Jake, I like your idea of contacting Rep. Driver, since it got you your palstic so soon. I'll wait a bit and see it my own contact bears any fruit. I guess contacting Rep Driver-----and contacting the DPS director-----would be my next steps. With a little luck it won't co...

Just finished the third set of fingerprints and sent them off. (Frisst set was ink-and-roll, sets 2 and 3 were both FAST Scan electronic ones). Following advice many of you gave me when I reported this in a post (I'm 70 and my hands are rather beaten-up and wrinkled), I wrote a letter to my state re...

oldgringo: my first re-take WAS with the FAST scan system. (by the way, I spent 40 years in engineering and teach electronics part-time at the local CC, I know how scanning works, and the scans looked good to me! Made me look like a 30 year old again!) So this second re-take will be with FAST scan a...

I'm new to the forum, so I'm sure that this has come up before. Tried the search, but didn't find too much. Here's the issue: I'm going for my THIRD set of fingerprints. When I took the class in December, the tech told me: "you're going to be rejected, because I can't get a clean enough print&q...
