  Additionally, some instructors may provide the required forms for students.
  
  What are the requirements for getting my CHL License in Texas?
  
  The Concealed Handgun Law sets out the eligibility criteria that must be met. For example, you must be qualified to purchase a handgun under all state and federal laws. A number of factors may make you ineligible to obtain a license, such as: felony convictions and some misdemeanor convictions, including charges that resulted in probation or deferred adjudication; pending criminal charges; chemical or alcohol dependency; certain types of psychological diagnoses protective or restraining orders, and defaults on state or city taxes, governmental fees, or child support.
  
  You will also need to submit a completed application, including all the required supplemental forms and materials. These include: two recent color passport photos; electronic fingerprints submitted using L-1 Enrollment Services (L-1); a copy of your Texas driver license or identification card, and proof of class completion, as well as shooting proficiency.
  
  After receiving completed application packets, the DPS will conduct extensive background checks of juvenile records for the previous 10 years and all adult records.
  
  Once I submit my application, how long until my license comes in the mail?
  
  The Department will make every effort to issue your license within 60 days of receiving the completed application packet, or inform you that you did not meet the eligibility criteria. Once your application is complete, processing may take up to 180 days if your background check reveals potentially disqualifying events or information.
  
  I submitted my application to the DPS, but I received a letter asking for more information on a crime I committed more than 20 years ago. How will this affect the timeline of my licensing?
  
  This letter requesting more information or documents extends the time line for completing or issuing your license. The Department has an additional 180 days to complete the review process if additional information is required from the application. In order to ensure your license is issued promptly, it is very important for you to provide the requested information for review.
  
  I checked the status of my application online, and it says "processing". How long will it stay in this status?
  
  This just means that your application has been received and processing has begun. This includes submission of your fingerprints to the FBI for a background check as well as conducting a fingerprint background check in Texas.
  
  If information obtained indicates you may have a disqualifying offense, you will be sent a request for additional information You will have 90 days to provide the requested documentation. If we do not receive the documents as requested, your application will be terminated as incomplete.
  
  I submitted fingerprints with my original application. My renewal notice says I need to re-submit fingerprints. Why?
  
  The Department makes every effort to use existing fingerprints on file for renewal applications. However, sometimes the quality of those prints originally submitted no longer meets the State or FBI standards. It is important for the Department to receive the highest quality of prints. In order to ensure these standards are met; the Department now requires all fingerprints for CHL applicants be collected by the State's designated fingerprint collection entity, L-1 Enrollment Services (L-1). If I am licensed to carry a handgun concealed in Texas, can I carry my handgun legally in another State? chl license houston
