With Arizona don't need to apply in person. Copy of your Texas chl is proof of competency. I sent that along with copy of my chl-100 and dDD-214 and retired ID just to be sure . No personnel checks though. Money order or cashier checks

not a bad deal for a backup

When I did mine the fingerprinting was in the secure part of the jail... Was asked by the detention deputy what they were for and told him that it was for an Arizona permit... Mentioned it was a back up for my Texas CHL and they didn't even asked if I had a weapon on me.... ( left in truck )

I took the 4 hour Utah training class to get the Utah license.

Some choices for non-resident licenses that are valid in Texas include:

• Arizona ($60 new, $43 renewal, accepts TX license as proof of training)
• Virginia ($100, may accept TX training or require a one hour online training course)
• Pennsylvania (generally $20, but requires visiting the PA county sheriff in person and must have Texas CHL)
• Utah ($51 new, $15 renewal, requires Utah training from Utah certified instructor, typically $100 for training, and must have Texas CHL)
• Florida ($112 new, $102 renewal, accepts TX CHL training.)

Personally, I think getting an AZ non-resident license is the easiest choice. Even though Utah renewals are the cheapest, it takes 25 years to have the cheaper renewal cost offset the up front training cost.

Went to sheriff office today to do fingerprints for the Arizona Licence. Filled all the required spaces on the cards before leaving. Had to do new ones over there since they print out the cards and all the info I filled in would have been typed over.. So before getting prints done check to see if they do the ink prints or the electronic ones
