There is clearly a balance between not wanting to delay CHL applications because of unusable fingerprints and forcing everyone to use a single vendor who is not capable of meeting the demand or reasonably handling the customers' needs in a timely manner. For those who may not remember, DPS was behind centralized emissions testing stations in the early '90s. It was clear at the outset of that program that the number of stations and their location was not going to handle the yearly testing requirements for all of the vehicles in Texas and it was later scrapped at great cost to the State.

It appears as though the L1 situation may be a similar setup, It would be a shame for it to throttle the growth in CHLs that we have been seeing. I understand that DPS is trying something new and I'm certainly not bashing them for doing that. I can only hope that they are listen to and will respond to concerns from CHL applicants.
