military discount

Post by lb6r »

I believe i read all the stickies, so i apologize if i still missed it.. But what is the process for getting a chl under the military discount?

Half-price sale for CHLs for the military, and elligible at age 18 not 21.
HB 322 -- Amends Government Code 411.172, 411.174(a) and 411.184(a)

Reduces all fees (taxation) for a CHL by 50%, for the armed forces, reserves, national guard and state guard, but not for veterans as originally planned (the state Senate removed them). Also reduces the age from 21 to 18 at which members of those groups, including veterans but not the state guard, can get a CHL. Such applicants must be honorably discharged if they are out of service, and must meet the standard eligibility requirements. They must also provide a pair of color profile passport photos when applying.

Greetings, welcome to the board...


You have to send in with your application a current LES and a copy of your ID Card. That is what I was told so that is what I did, but who am I, I am just in the waiting room. I paid online though and they only charged me $70.00 after I filled out the application.

Could you share with us where this came from? DPS told us that profile photos were only for "under 21" applicants.
