Idaho CHL valid in Texas?

[Keith B]

I would bet if a concealed handgun license has an address on it, then no matter what state it comes from, it would only be valid if it matches your current address of legal residence. Therenisnusualy a grace period within a transition time, but once you move out of state and change your drivers license, then you would need to have a change of address in process or active on the license. I dont have a law to quote, but it only makes sense.

This is just my opinion. Since you have changed residency to Texas and now have a Texas Driver's license, shouldn't you also get a Texas CHL? There's something about being a resident of a State and carrying on an out of State license. Like I said, just my opinion.

Shame on Texas for not making the CHL conversion as quick, as easy, and the same price as the DL conversion. (Or voter registration!)

That is not true for Ohio licenses. Ohio law R.C. 2923.126 requires a licensee to notify the issuing sheriff on an address change within 45 days, but there is no requirement to issue a replacement license with the changed address. If the licensee fails to notify the sheriff of the address change, there is no criminal penalty.

Yes, but even if it is not a crime in Ohio, wouldn't that still invalidate the Ohio license in Texas, since A) the Ohio permit was a resident permit; and B) the address on the license is not a Texas address?

Nekorb is from Idaho which has no residency requirement in the law. (except for "a temporary emergency license")

Ohio licenses are not recognized by Texas regardless. I was addressing the "no matter what state it comes from" point to show a counterexample.

...I read that...it's not written on either the application, or in the law you quoted...why, then, does Idaho offer a Non-resident license???
that's one of the things that none of the Sheriff's Ofc. people I reached Sat. could answer...we'll find out when the offices are open...

[Keith B]

Check out the notes on http://www.handgunlaw.us" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. They indicate that the Sheriffs will issue non-resident permits. As in many states though, it may be up to the individual Sheriff of the county on how they handle the issuance.

My opinion is still that you need to contact the Sheriff's office and just request an address change for you license. If they change it to your Texas address, then you should have a non-resident license unless there is something hidden in the law we are not seeing.

Thanks for all the replies, I'll call up to Idaho and get it squared away!

...Just got ahold of Twin Falls SO http://www.twinfallscoso.com/page.php?p=weapons" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Kenya in the CHL section at the bottom of the page...looks like I wildly speculated correctly...when the Idaho license has an address on it from out-of-state, it becomes a non-resident license...she said she's not sure how long Idaho gives to change it over and keep it valid but with Dr Lic, it's 30 days...the address on it must match your Dr. Lic for it to be valid after this long...she said call the Dr Lic bureau at 208-723-7610 and ask for Tanya at extension 20...she'll help you and it MIGHT be able to be done over the phone, she doesn't know...this information is not available online...under the law or the applications they posted...


...called the CHL office in Austin...the tech said that there's no time expressed in Tx. law by which you must change the out-of-state permit to reflect the current Texas address...and Texas doesn't require the addresses on Dr. Lic. and CHL to match FOR OUT-OF-STATE permits...but when they check back with Idaho, Idaho has to tell them that it's valid...then they'll accept it...

...according to Idaho, all you have to do to make it valid is to change your address on the Idaho resident license, which will make it a non-resident licence...and they'll report it valid to Texas if it's checked, and you'll get your money's worth out of it...looks like Tanya's your date!!!

...one bummer is that when you go to renew an Idaho non-resident license, you must do it at the Sheriff's Office in person...cannot be done through the mail...but you'll probably be so proud to be a Texan by then you want our permit anyways...

True dat. I also have a Utah CFP, partly so that I can Ohio reciprocity, and I had forgotten about Texas/Ohio.

...according to DPS, there's no requirement in Texas law that the out-of-state license has the current Texas address to match the Texas D Lic...that requirement is for residents only...DPS said that if Texas calls up to Ohio on either an Ohio resident's license or a non-resident's license, and Ohio reports that that license is valid...the person carrying's good to go...so if Ohio's good with the license reflecting somewhere in Ohio that they don't live anymore...it's fine...Idaho isn't...so it varies state-to-state...

...you'd win that bet if you're talking about Idaho...and that change of address changes the Idaho resident's license to a non-resident's and the license will remain valid until expiration...the CHL lady at the SO didn't know the grace period, since it's handled through the DLic Bureau there, but she said after a year and a half...it's not going to be called valid till it's changed...and it's not written in the CHL law...it's a matter of administration policy...not posted anywhere...

...looks like the only difference between your betting and me speculating wildly is that you might have won some money...are you buying lunch for us all???

O heck no. But you never know what can happen. Someone slips you a mickey, and you wake up half naked in a bathtub full of ice in Sandusky, with lipstick smeared all over your face, a hangover, and wondering why your lower back and flank hurts so much. That's when you find the note.....

Of course, my own existence is far too tame for such folderole.
