§ 411.175. REQUEST FOR APPLICATION MATERIALS.  (a) A 
person applying for a license to carry a concealed handgun must 
apply by obtaining a request for application materials from a 
handgun dealer, the department, or any other person or entity 
approved by the department.  The request for application materials 
must include the applicant's full name, address, race, sex, height, 
date of birth, and driver's license number and such other 
identifying information as required by department rule.  The 
department shall prescribe the form of the request and make the form 
available to interested parties.  An individual who desires to 
receive application materials must complete the request for 
application materials and forward it to the department at its 
Austin address.  The department shall review all requests for 
application materials and make a preliminary determination as to 
whether or not the individual is qualified to receive a handgun 
license.  If an individual is not disqualified to receive a handgun 
license, the department shall forward to the individual the 
appropriate application materials.  The applicant must complete the 
application materials and forward the completed materials to the 
department at its Austin address.
	(b)  If a preliminary review indicates that an individual 
will not be qualified to receive a handgun license, the department 
shall send written notification to that individual.  The notice 
shall provide the reason that the preliminary review indicates that 
the individual is not entitled to receive a handgun license.  The 
department shall give the individual an opportunity to correct 
whatever defect may exist.
