Re: Change of Addy and sending old license back

You do not need to send it back, altho if you do, I am sure they will just destroy it for you.

Per Texas Administrative Code, Title 37, Part 1, Chapter 6, Subchapter B, Rule §6.14:

"A license holder may not possess more than one license to carry a concealed handgun issued by the department. A license holder who requests a duplicate license based on a change of name or address shall destroy the old license promptly upon receipt of the duplicate license."

The note there says this became effective August 10, 2008, but that has been the policy longer than that. When I got a dupe due to address change some years ago, they advised me then I needed to destroy it.

If you go to the DPS website and click on the link for administrative rules, you get a page saying they are under revision. I have no idea if that page is correct, or has been there since 2008, or what. The link above is to the Secretary of State's site. The SOS is supposed to maintain the current set of admin rules.
