I applied for a Texas concealed handgun license and actually chose to tell the truth and disclose that I take antidepressants. I am not crazy, and I am more mentallly stable than 80 % of the population. However, due to an arcane law that disallows people on meds to have a CHL, I was denied. I hired an attorney who promptly closed shop and ran off with my retainer. I am being denied the right to be able to defend my family because of this. Criminals don't apply for CHL's, and where is the state going to be if me or my family are attacked? Does anybody have any experience with this? How can I legally get my CHL?

you cannot. Stop taking meds, and get a doctor to verify you stopped, then apply. If you need the meds you will not get license.
Believe me I know I worked for parks and wildlife in Texas for 3yrs, its a fact.

Where does it say somebody on meds can't get a permit? The stadard is "chemically dependent" and if you read the details it doesn't sound like it applies to somebody taking medication under a perscription.

The law sounds OK to me.
