The total number of CHL holders (maybe approaching 400,000 now) is a small fraction of the population. It is spread all over the state and not a voting bloc.

Well, it should be less of a hassle/cost. Bureaucratic bull is just that. Especially for something that is a violation of the spirit of the 2nd Amendment to begin with.
So yeah, I'll gripe.
I'll be renewing my Florida CHL.

I'll second or third what others have said. Having gone through quite a hassle myself, I can sympathize with what you are going through.

I would first call the county clerks office and talk to them. Depending on the size of the county, they might give you some information over the phone. I ended up having to have a notarized letter requesting any information related to my case. The clerk emailed my the documents I needed, but she would have sent certified copies if I needed them. The clerk from the county was real pleasant, but I think it had a lot to do with the fact that it was a small rural county, and she probably was waiting for something to do.

I think what you are after is a certified letter from the clerk stating that they have no record of charges against you.

Good Luck!
The inbred drone I dealt with on the phone was dumber than a box of rocks and friendly as a irritated snake. I'll have to hire someone to walk across the street and get what I need, I reckon'.

A few weeks, why?

Re: Delay: "Disposition information"

One of these incidents occured in Alabama. Their records aren't even computerized, AFAIK. I'll have to hire an attorney there to take a walk over to the county clerk, or whatever it is they have there in gooberville.
I'll have to spend more money for San Diego, Ca. Their computer database erases any misdemeanor record after 10 years. This information took a few minutes of research on the internet. So I'll be paying to acquire a letter saying there is no record of the offense. Reckon the DPS bereuacrats should be doing this, and paying for it. Thats what the application fee is for, right?
So I've got one office flunky that should be communicating with other office flunkies and instead, I'm doing their work for them.

Delay: "Disposition information"

Talk about bureacratic bull. I applied for the Tx CHL awhile back and listed a couple of offenses from over twenty years ago. A DUI and two non-violent, non-sexual misdemeanors.
I get a letter of delay. Apparently I have to submit "certified copies of the judgement and sentence from the courts". These offenses are not in themselves disqualifying, why should it be an issue.
I contacted the licensing bureau and the e-mails just resulted in red-tape bureaucratic double-talk.
PS. I've held a Florida CCW for many years. Its recognized by Texas. Ain't that somethin'. Guess I could just renew my Florida license and be done with it.
