Am I required to stop carrying until I have the new CHL in hand? Or am I ok to carry since I have applied for renewal?
It's my understanding of the law that you have to have, in your possession, a valid CHL before you can legally carry a handgun concealed. Until the license arrives in your mailbox, you're stuck with the privileges everyday Texans have -- MPA and carry on your own / your controlled property plus to/from a sporting activity.
