I live in Kaufman County. There is no FAST franchise in my county that does CHL prints. My choices after my fingerprint card was rejected by DPS were Waxahachie, North Richland Hills, Fort Worth and the oh-so-handy Love Field location. Try getting anywhere near Love Field after 4 pm!! Unlucky for me, I got laid off from my job so Waxahachie is where I went. Of course, the place was not clearly identified from the outside & then the wait was extensive as their machine wouldn't stay online.Liberty wrote:It could make it very difficult. For instance If I had to go to Houston during a work day, during work hours, I would have to consider nor renewing. For those living the in big City, and don't have to go to work every day, the inconvenience isn't so great. The One Stop aspect makes it a whole lot easier for working people.Charles L.

I don't know what other instructors are going to do, but I will reduce the cost of my classes by the fee I pay to a LEO to roll the prints. (I don't charge for photos since I do them myself.) Hopefully, some FAST franchise holders will be willing to travel to classrooms to do the prints, but even if they do, I suspect they will have a minimum class size requirement.

I think every county courthouse should contain FAST and requiring bi-monthly Saturday hours should be mandatory.
