For the same reason anyone else who has that state's license would be able to carry.

The only things that might disqualify you from a Texas CHL, which wouldn't disqualify you from a reciprocal state's license, would be owing back taxes, back child support, in arrears on student loans, etc. It would take some digging for a Texas LEO to discover that you're not qualified for a Texas CHL, and then a lot of work to prosecute you for the misdemeanor offense of UCW. And it would probably be an unsuccesful prosecution, at that, since the subject held a valid license recognized by Texas.

Kevin,

One of my shooting buddies had a Texas CHL which was revoked after
he was arrested for a incident related to carrying while DWI. My understanding of the situation is that he made a plea bargain with the DA in which the DWI charges were dropped, but he had to plead guilty to UCW. Not too long after his Texas CHL was revoked he applied for and received a non-resident CHL from Florida. Do you think the state of Texas will have an issue with him carrying on his Florida CHL?

If you meet all the qualifications for your out of state license, and Texas honors that license by a reciprocity agreement, then yes, you are entitled to carry with that license.
I surprised there has not been a legal opinion from the AG on this yet.

If a Texas resident is denied a Texas CHL it would only seem logical that they could not carry on a non-resident CHL as they are required to abide by the laws governing CHL's. Since they aren't legally qualifed to receive a Texas CHL, why would the state allow a resident to carry on a non-resident CHL which essentially is an end-run around the CHL laws?

Please leave any responses out in your reply such as "support your local TX chl etc..." that don't apply to my question.
Yes it will.

And being a open and public forum, don't expect to be able to demand answers fit a particular pattern. Since this is a Texas CHL forum, most of us are going to want to know why you would not obtain a Texas CHL.

Since we participate here free and often, we can ask, but you can also ignore us. ;-)

Which brings me to; Welcome to the forum. :seeya:
If a Texas resident obtains a non resident CHL from another state and is not eligible for a Texas CHL due to a disqualification, would they still still be entitled to carry in Texas on their non-resident license?
