Texas will accept a 3rd party Utah in particular. I also believe you can get a Nonresident Texas CHL here and then change it after 6 months.cbr600 wrote:Howdy. I may be relocating to Texas in a few months. I currently live in North Carolina and am licensed to carry concealed.
From what I read about the Texas CHL, I must be a Texas resident (i.e. have a Texas DL) for at least six months before I'm allowed to apply for a CHL. Then I will have to wait weeks or months longer before I get my CHL.
Meanwhile, the minute I hand my NC DL to DPS to get a TX DL, I'm no longer a NC resident and therefore my NC resident concealed handgun permit ceases to be valid. So I would go from being able to carry legally in Texas (via reciprocity) to having to wait more than half a year before I can get a CHL. That makes no sense.
What are my choices? Will Texas recognize a third party non-resident license (such as Utah) during the six month waiting period?
