Yuppers

When you said "lots of people get the Utah permit just to carry in Texas", I am assuming you mean TX residents are getting the Utah permit to carry in Texas, instead of the TX permit. And that it is allowed by TX DPS.

Yuppers, again. I think you've got it!

You can legally carry in Texas with a non-resident permit from another state. I am an instructor for both Texas and Utah. Lots of people get the Utah permit just to carry in Texas, and do not get a Texas permit for the reasons you mentioned, and some others.

If you met the requirements in another state, and they issued you a valid permit, and they also issue non-resident permits, then it will still be good in Texas. Just make sure that you have a valid address on the permit, and that it matches the address on your driver's license.
