Its $50 and a 30 day wait for a carry permit. We are a 'shall issue' state, so there is no police discretion for non-felons. No training requirements, which frankly, I don't like. It wouldn't kill first time gun owners to sit through a 1 hour safety lecture.

In Texas, there is no requirement for training to own. But you not only have to have classes on the law, but you must also demonstrate safe firearm handling AND accuracy to have a carry permit.
The libertarian in me is appalled at this. OTOH, I like the idea that someone has to be able demostrate they can hit a target at 15-25 feet to be able to have a carry permit.
