Should you renew your LTC?

[glenbo]

What round for Microsoft Bing search results?

Big and loud.

When my renewal comes I will renew simply to bypass bg checks

If your talking drivers license, mine is class AM CDL, I must go to DPS to renew mine. LTC is by interweb.

 

[ScottDLS]

When they run your drivers license, it automatically shows you have a license to carry without them asking you.

I don't care. That's not why I renew it. If the cop thinks everyone with a LTC is a "certified good guy" he ought to turn in his badge and be a greeter at WalMart.

The only real way to prove you are a certified good guy is to fill out a bill of sale in triplicate, whenever buying or selling a gun in a private transaction....

The 3rd copy goes to the ATF, correct?

Finishing up my renewal application on line and the payment page comes up as below.
Is the Texas.gov price $2.83 or a separate additional charge of $37.83?

Fees
Handgun License Renewal (Senior)	$35.00
Texas.gov Price What is the Texas.gov price?	$37.83

 

[Higgins909]

I had the standard application, $40.00 and then Texas.gov Price was $42.95. I looked back and it seems I was only ever charged the $42.95. Which I'm happy with. Last weekend I was looking at my DL thinking I still needed to renew it. Turns out it was for 2024. Then I had a moment where I wasn't sure if my LTC was expiring in 2023. I shredded it after getting my new one. It it was supposed to last 5 years, then it maths up to 2023. Does a DL lasting 7 years sound right? Pretty sure I got it in 2017. (I was late to the party)

Senior citizens is $35, plus the additional $2.83 fee for the online processing. Total would be $37.83.

DL is from the date of renewal to six years from your birthday And you can renew I think 364 days before the current expiration, so almost 7 years is possible.

I think both of mine are at the same time, I cant renew my drivers license via internet, my DL is federal. CDL

Do CDL's last 6 years or 4? Particularly the ones with interstate qual.

 

[DoubleDuty]

Glad you renewed, it really is just a few clicks away. No course, no quiz, no qualification.
Yes, the benefit list is long but the best one, IMO, is that you don't have to disarm every time you see a dumazz gunbuster sign in fear of going to jail.
Btw, your DL will be renewed by the DPS, not DMV. That one is for vehicles. And those people truly are lazy and stupid. Hence all the DMV jokes.

Those gunbuster signs aren't enforceable they would have to ask you to leave. They have to post 30.05 signs

I think Six, the same for both, one is interstate and the other intrastate, in other words, no physical required for intrastate,(ya gotta stay in Texas).

5 years. Renewed mine in 2020, and expires in 2025.

 

[tedwitt]

5 years. Renewed mine in 2020, and expires in 2025.

I couldn't remember when I renewed mine,

For all the reasons already stated, plus there are places you can carry with a LTC that you cannot without.

Where would that be?

 

[tedwitt]

I just checked, LTC expires April 2026, CDL expires April 2029.

 

[Sfl]

I just remembered that both my DL and LTC are expiring very soon. Not sure if I need or want to renew my LTC since they made it permitless carry. I don't know if there are benefits to having it still. I kinda thought it used to make the buying process go way faster on the background check when purchasing a firearm but I don't know for sure. I'm also not sure if I have to retake a course to renew.

Thanks,

If you travel interstate a lot or even once in a while it can be vital to have. Amongst other reasons

 

[GeauxLSU]

Guess I'm in the minority. Will not renew. Getting it was the single most emasculating thing I've ever done.
