Amen, brother! And have been suspiciously quiet about how they plan on handling that, too.

I'm not sure I understand. How they are planning to handle what?

If you mean the NRA instructor requirement, then they are going to follow the law and require that CHL instructors meet the requirements. This means TCLEOSE, NRA, or "other" certification, with the latter requiring that active teaching.

I'm sure they are busy trying to prepare for the changes coming Sept. 1st, including preparing a new, or at least amended, CHL-100. The CHL test also has to be changed and made available prior to Sept. 1st.

I hope there aren't any instructors who are still hoping that they will not be required to have a certification other than their CHL Instructor Certificate.

Unfortunately, a renewal notification was mailed too early to those CHL Instructors whose certificate expires on December 31, 2013. We apologize for the miscommunication and want to ensure each of you is provided accurate information regarding the renewal process.

Well, as of tomorrow morning we are in the six month renewal period, still no information from DPS. Do you think the second special session will delay the decisions even though there are not any CHL related issues on the agenda. Has anyone heard anything from the questions submitted to RDS through the original e-mail? I know that many that frequent this board have gotten a head start on what we think will be the new requirements but I have talked to several instructors in my area who tell me they are not doing anything until they get it straight from DPS that what I have been saying is structurally speculation. Also, the guy I teach with sent his instructor renewal in as soon as he got the e-mail and has already received his new instructor certificate. They sent him a request for the new CHL -90, so far he said he is already renewed why should he bother. Anyone heard of a certificate being revoked after it was issued.
