It's safe to say that very little pro-RKBA legislation would be passed without the efforts of the TSRA, and they also watch for and work against bad legislation. They recently prodded DPS to hire people to process applications in the legally required timeframe.
The trend of tying licenses to child support and other arrears is widespread. I don't know if anyone has tried fighting it in court. It's very expensive to take a case to the Texas Supreme Court.
Mr. Scott, the fact that is generally illegal to carry a handgun in public without a CHL does not stop criminals from carrying weapons and committing crimes. They do it all the time. Even if they are caught and prosecuted, they get probation or a short jail term, and they are right back on the street.

Re: CHL holders are the good guys
Welcome to the forum.
I agree with you, that self-defense and keeping and bearing the means of self-defense are God-given rights.
However, we're stuck with the political reality of a public, legislators, and judges who do not accept this principle.
The best we can do for now is to support the TSRA and those legislators who recognize the way things should be, and make incremental progress. The recent Heller decision was a huge gain for us, and the consequences of it will play out over many years.
Look at the history of Brown v. Board of Education and long and difficult the struggle to eliminate racial discrimination took.
These issues have been discussed many times in this forum.
