Re: So Good News, Bad News

Makes sense. I would think they would honor their own license at a minimum.

Make sure when you check reciprocity, that you check it against a non-resident license. Some states (Florida did at one point and may still) have different reciprocity rules based off of whether your license is resident or non-resident. At one point, you couldn't carry in Florida if you had a non-resident Florida license.
I think it was that you couldn't (and can't) carry in Florida on a non-resident license OTHER THAN FLORIDA. It would seem crazy for Florida to issue a non-resident license that they don't recognize. :confused5
It may seem crazy, but in reading their law, it does not seem to give an exception for the Florida non-resident license to carry in Florida. :confused5
790.015 Nonresidents Who Are United States Citizens and Hold a Concealed Weapons License In Another State; Reciprocity.—
(1) Notwithstanding s. 790.01, a nonresident of Florida may carry a concealed weapon or concealed firearm while in this state if the nonresident:
(a) Is 21 years of age or older.
(b) Has in his or her immediate possession a valid license to carry a concealed weapon or concealed firearm issued to the nonresident in his or her state of residence.
(c) Is a resident of the United States.
(2) A nonresident is subject to the same laws and restrictions with respect to carrying a concealed weapon or concealed firearm as a resident of Florida who is so licensed.
(3) If the resident of another state who is the holder of a valid license to carry a concealed weapon or concealed firearm issued in another state establishes legal residence in this state by:
(a) Registering to vote;
(b) Making a statement of domicile pursuant to s. 222.17; or
(c) Filing for homestead tax exemption on property in this state, the license shall remain in effect for 90 days following the date on which the holder of the license establishes legal state residence.
(4) This section applies only to nonresident concealed weapon or concealed firearm license holders from states that honor Florida concealed weapon or concealed firearm licenses.
(5) The requirement of paragraph (1)(a) does not apply to a person who:
(a) Is a service member, as defined in s. 250.01; or

Well, it will cost you $25 when you change the address, but that's it.

Re: So Good News, Bad News

When you move, you need to change your address with DPS. Your LTC will become a non-resident license. You can renew it even if you live in another state. When you move back, just change it to your new Texas address and it becomes a resident license again.
