Just wanted to post an update. Paid DPS online on 12/2/08, got new CHL in mail yesterday, 12/12/08. Only took 8 days! Not bad!

It's still a risk I'm not willing to take. Say hypothetically, it's been more than 30 days since an address change. How would that affect things?

Has anyone updated their CHL with a new address? I'm still really interested to find out exactly how long it may take.

Just to make it clear, I have already decided to stop carrying until my new license comes in. I really don't like it, but I'm willing to take the risk of not carrying instead of risking suspension over something silly like an address not being current. I was just wondering what the law says about this.

I really just don't want to miss out on the cold weather carry. I wear a nice Galco leather shoulder holster when I have a jacket on, and that is my favorite way to carry. For about a year now I've only been carrying a pocket pistol (Kel-Tec P3AT).

I just updated my address on my CHL. DPS says that they will let me know in 45 days if it's been approved. I'm really hoping they don't take the max 45 days to process like they do new applications. If anyone has experience in this, please let me know.

So what are the carrying terms during an address change? I have moved to my new address, so can I still carry or do I need to wait till the new card comes in? I can print out the receipt I got showing the new address and that I already paid, but I don't know if a cop would care to even see that. CHL law doesn't mention anything about that anyway.

Thanks for the help.
