Basically in Tx if you are a not a Felon and have no record of domestic violence you can have a CHL.

Yes, in TX we can get a CHL if we have a clean record. I've had mine for many years.

I still resent it, though, in some ways.

Which other part of the Bill of Rights does one have to jump through hoops to be able to exercise that right?

Suzanna Gratia Hupp said it best, IMO: Arrest and prosecute the criminals, and leave the law-abiding alone!
