Haven't been posted on DPS.TEXAS.GOV yet, so where'd they get the stats?

Fiscal vs calendar. I've been watching, like some of you, to see when they update calendar so I can update my LTC presentation stats.

No, the calendar year report is still not posted. Those are sections.

Check the numbers in the OP against the PDF I linked. That's where the OP numbers came from.

Are these stats for new licenses only or for both new and renewal combined?

Just adding in my head there were 274 people age 90 or above who got their LTC‘s.
There were also 316 people ages 18 through 20 who got their LTC’s.
The numbers jump up into the thousands starting at age 21.
The over 90s stat is awesome, but the stats for the younger folks is actually more encouraging because they will be supporters for years to come
