Not another one!!

As long as the person has a CHL from a state that is recognized in Texas (full reciprocity or unilateral recognition), I don't see how he/she could be prosecuted for violation of TPC §46.02.

Some facts could change this opinion:

1) Issuance of a restraining order or protective order (federal law);
2) Conviction of a felony (Texas and federal law);
3) Automatic suspension or revocation of the other state's CHL upon suspension of the Texas CHL (Texas law).

Numbers 1 & 2 would not make prosecution under TPC §46.02 possible, but the person could be charged under federal law for No. 1, or in the case of No. 2, under Texas law for felon in possession.

Good question! Be careful about posting this in another forum, as this applies only to my interpretation of Texas law.

Regards,
Chas.
