We are all in the same boat, being regulated by an entity that knows nothing of our business and seems to be out for “money” instead of the good of the public.<br /><br />I do know that GHLA is being well represented at these meetings but are only allowed input, whether or not this is a consideration for the DPS is up to them and not the GHLA board.<br /><br />I know it is frustrating for you, as it is every locksmith in Texas but there is very little one can do to fight the State and their requirements. TLA has a lobbyist that represents them at ALL meetings and is doing a good job, as well as one can do with the State. I for one feel much better about our future knowing that GHLA and TLA board members are attending these meetings to keep us up to date on changes/pending changes to the rules and regulations.<br /><br />I have forced myself to accept the requirements and realize that if I want to continue to practice “locksmithing” in Texas I must comply with Texas/DPS/PSB and only hope that one day they will become bored with us and move on to another industry, in my lifetime.<br /><br />Keep giving your input, it may not matter to the DPS/PSB but it certainly does to others in our industry."T.
