There are UT certified instructors on this forum. Depending on where you live, try to get with one of them. If not practical, a list of instructors follows.

Florida doesn’t require that you attend a class but is more expensive and probably more effort.

Utah requires an initial class by one of these certified instructors but not required for renewal. Utah is reasonable up front, including the class, and much cheaper on renewal.

This has been the most popular choice lately.

First, go here and select 'Who honors my permit":

http://www.handgunlaw.us/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

That will show you the states that honor a particular state's license. Some states will honor a resident license but not a non-resident.

Then you can pick another that complements the coverage of your resident license.

Initially, FL was the most common choice. More recently, UT. There are UT certified instructors in TX. My NH license was $20/5yr requiring only a mailed application and copy of my TX CHL. There is a county in PA that will do the same.

If you look at the coverage, you can see that there would be no need to collect 40.

Several years ago, Texas did not have reciprocity with all of the southern states. I obtained a New Hampshire license so I would gain the additional states I needed. Texas has sinced negotiated reciprocity with those states, so I didn't renew NH.

So one reason is to gain additional coverage.

The other reason, in light of the length of time that TX renewals have been taking, is to have an overlap of coverage in case the TX license should lapse.
