I might be wrong here, but the Bill passed in 1995, I don't believe the Bill became effective law until January 96, they had to train instructors. I don't believe it was possible until at least until January 1996 to get a CHL..

According to the website I referenced http://txchia.org/texas-ltc-information ... led-carry/, it was Sept 1995 that the law became effective, but people couldn't start concealed carry until January 1, 1996. :rules:

In my circles, we gave Suzanna Hupp most of the credit for getting it passed even though she wasn't in the legislature then. Her story was so awesome: law abiding, good people, who couldn't stop a lunatic with a gun at Luby's because they choose to follow the law and he didn't.
