Common mistakes

  1. Using an outdated form: Always ensure that you are using the most current version of the Texas CHL 77 form. Using an outdated form can lead to delays or even rejection of your application.

  2. Incomplete personal information: Failing to provide complete and accurate personal information, such as your full name, date of birth, and Social Security number, can cause significant processing delays.

  3. Incorrect payment method: Make sure to use acceptable forms of payment. Submitting a personal check when a money order is required may result in your application being returned.

  4. Not including required documentation: It’s essential to attach all necessary documents, such as the CHL-100 Training Form and any relevant court documents. Missing documentation can lead to application termination.

  5. Providing inaccurate information: Double-check all entries for accuracy. Any false statements or discrepancies can result in criminal prosecution and may jeopardize your application.

Key takeaways

When filling out the Texas CHL 77 form for renewing your concealed handgun license, keep these key points in mind:

  • Use the most current form. Always ensure you are using the latest version of the CHL 77 form to avoid processing delays.
  • Complete all sections clearly. Fill out the form in black ink, and make sure to provide accurate information. Incomplete or inaccurate details can slow down your application.
  • Submit required documents together. Include all necessary items, such as the CHL-100 Training Form and any applicable court documents, when you send in your application.
  • Be aware of the renewal timeline. You can renew your license no more than six months before it expires and no later than one year after expiration.
  • Understand the fee structure. Different fees apply based on your status (e.g., active military, senior citizen). Ensure you include the correct payment method with your application.

By following these guidelines, you can help ensure a smoother renewal process for your concealed handgun license in Texas.
