I moved to Texas from Utah about a year and a half ago. I have a Utah CFP (Concealed Firearm Permit) but have not gotten a Texas CHL yet, for several reasons.

1) the TX permit is expensive, looks like a minimum of $250 versus under $100 total when I got my UT-CFP

2) The UT CFP is perfectly legal here in TX. My only concern is the one someone else mentioned, some dumb cop not knowing the law and giving me a hard time.

3) The state of Utah IMHO has the best concealed carry laws and permits in the nation (other than vermont). Renewal does not require another class and only costs $10 for an additional 5 years. I intend to maintain this UT CFP as long as I live.

One of these days I will find the time to take the TX CHL class and get the TX permit. But chances are that I won't be in TX long term and the TX permit does me no good if I move out of state.
