Welcome to Texas, fellow former European.

The only thing "extra" I sent in with my application was a photocopy of my Resident card. The application packet had an extra sheet of instructions stating this requirement when I got it, I guess since I did the application online and they thus knew I ain't from around here. I got my CHL without any problems.

90 days proof of residency is correct for firearm purchases. It's a real pain if you run into something you want to buy and didn't think to pack a stack of papers with you to prove residency. I used to keep 90 days of pay stubs with me all the time, but last time I bought a gun the dealer (Schramm's in Mesquite) said it wasn't good enough, which is peculiar since the ATF website explicitly lists pay stubs as acceptable proof.
