Sheesh....

If the OP returns to CT for family, or is only here temporarily, why get a TX LTC when a CT permit covers both places?

This is really a tough crowd sometimes..

The unilateral agreement indicates it is for CC only, not OC.
Of course I know that a TX LTC is for both. Does the agreement need to be updated?
Also, is the CT license for CC only or both CC and OC?
How does all this figure into the equation?

Interesting question.. Here's the relevant document.. (link will open PDF)

".... This recognition will be for the purpose of concealed carry only....... "

I believe a CT license authorizes both OC and CC IN CONNECTICUT.

Connecticut is a Licensed Open Carry state. A Connecticut Permit to Carry Pistols or Revolvers allows the carry of handguns openly or concealed any place in the state that is not considered "off-limits" under state law. Despite this, local law enforcement have been known[citation needed] to detain carriers. There have been very few actual arrests and no convictions in recent history as a result of carrying unconcealed however. State law is silent on the open carry of long guns in public either with or without a permit, although some municipalities have enacted ordinances restricting or banning the practice. Various towns and the state police as well have articulated through training memos that open carry is legal and to not harass people who carry openly without some other cause.

The OP seems to make clear that is the case for him. CT-issued license showing his TX address. IMO, good-to-go here.

Just my opinion.

A friend moved from WA to TX a few years ago. He did not convert his WA permit to non-resident. His intention was to carry on his WA resident permit until it expired, since WA had told him that the permit was not invalidated by his relocation to TX.

When he inquired, by telephone, to TX-DPS he was told that he could carry in TX on a WA non-resident permit, but that since he had changed his residence and DL to TX, that his WA resident permit would not be honored in TX and he risked being arrested for carrying without a permit.

Bottom line.. In my OPINION (since IANAL and this is not legal advice), a valid non-resident license from any state is recognized by TX, but a resident license from another state is not recognized as valid by TX if the licensees official state of residence is not the same as the state that issued the resident license.
