Now having said that...it is entered into NCIC and is brought up with your DL every time they do a 10-28/29 on you on a stop. So in theory the peace officer that stops you, assuming the LTC has truly been issued and is just in the mail, would immediately know that you're a Texas LTC holder.

Now, this is vastly different from operating a motor vehicle without a license on your person. In this case there is specific Texas law that mandates the judge and/or district attorney to dismiss the charge against you if you prove the court within 30 days of your citation that you were in fact th holder of a valid DL when stopped, it just was not with you (was at home cause you forgot your purse or wallet)

Hear me clearly on this: The above exemption does NOT apply to the License to Carry. There is no law that says you have 30 days to prove to the court you were actually licensed when you were arrested for Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon under the Texas Penal Code.

Hope that helps! :-)

Does Texas really put your LTC in NCIC? Or is it only in TCIC? If I get pulled over in NJ does my Texas LTC come up when they run my TXDL.
