What gets me is how do they know??? I do not recall anywhere in the paperwork I fill out where it asks me if I am a veteran...Or anything about a discharge status or condition...

Unless during the "investigation" the DPS discovers this information...

I believe at this point a veteran would have to file a copy of your DD-214 with this particular state office for the waiver of any fees to take place...

:lol: I know having lived at such a place does not make one a veteran, but I thought it was funny.
True...True...

I had an FPO for a while...

I'm still betting we'd have to file a DD-214 with this agency to get the fees waived...That wouldn't be that bad a thing either...Would probably save them and us time in investigations if we submitted a certified copy...

But I guess we'll have to see if they can figure out a plan to implement this bill if it becomes law...

HB 233...

Interesting analysis...

http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/tlodocs/ ... 00233I.HTM

I thought there was a larger precentage of "veterans" in the Texas CHL community...

They say only 11.2% out of the entire number of CHL licensees...

So the fiscal impact to the revenue generated is less that I thought...

The numbers in the report are very interesting...And the projection out to 2012 proves how little an impact it is...

Like I said I wish this had gone through 2 years ago...Our license budget would have been cut in half...

Return to “HB 233...”
