I'm not an instructor, but I've heard that a recent change makes the LTC-100 only good for one year now. Perhaps KeithB can clarify for you.

Good luck.
LTC-100 is good for 2 years, application is only good for 1.

Re: LTC class tonight - Application question - Background

Welcome to the forum.

The issue for DWI's and PI's is you may be considered a chemically dependant person. That is shown here:
GC §411.171. DEFINITIONS.
In this subchapter:
.........
(2) “Chemically dependent person” means a person who frequently or
repeatedly becomes intoxicated by excessive indulgence in alcohol or uses
controlled substances or dangerous drugs so as to acquire a fixed habit and an
involuntary tendency to become intoxicated or use those substances as often
as the opportunity is presented]

GC §411.172. ELIGIBILITY.
(a) A person is eligible for a license to carry a handgun if the person:
........
(6) is not a chemically dependent person;

(c) An individual who has been convicted two times within the 10-year period
preceding the date on which the person applies for a license of an offense of
the grade of Class B misdemeanor or greater that involves the use of alcohol
or a controlled substance as a statutory element of the offense is a chemically
dependent person for purposes of this section and is not qualified to receive
a license under this subchapter. This subsection does not preclude the
disqualification of an individual for being a chemically dependent person if other
evidence exists to show that the person is a chemically dependent person
So, the DWI's are more than 10 years ago, so that is no issue. The PI was apparently 2010, so 8 years ago, and was probably a Class C, not B, and the other intoxication charge is not within the 10 years prior, so you should be OK.
