Here the fun part: Gov Abbot signed this in to law in June, it became effective 9/1/19 - but DPS doesn't know it and still requires you to pay for renewals!

Close, but no cigar. The Lege did not appropriate funds for the program.

Not a thing, IIRC. But you are exempt from 30.06 and 30.07 if you are "volunteer emergency services personnel". Some people say that being CPR certified puts you in that group. I'm not sure about that, but it has not been tested in court. If I were going to claim that exception, then I would want to be an official card-carrying member of a somewhat well known volunteer emergency services organization.So, is this a thing, or is it not a thing. My 19 year old will have his 20th birthday soon, and I would like to talk him into taking CPR and his LTC class; he’s down.
Saving some money on fees would be great.
Because with operating cars or weapons, there IS a chance of injury :P
Well, operating motor vehicles and firearms DOES have a risk of injury, even if it's just M1 thumb, and being able to render First Aid and CPR _would_ safe lives (proper Good Samaritan laws provided) and it _would_ be something that could be thrown back in the faces of anti-gun activists. See? We ARE doing something reasonable and useful that actually might save lives, not just when driving and shooting; unlike your consistent trying to chip away at gun rights.
