FYI,

Thank you for using the Regulatory Services Division’s website.

Texas CHL holders do have a 12 month grace period after a license expires to renew it so you have some time to work with. Other than that there are no exceptions.

For security reasons, please do not respond to this email. Should you need further assistance, please return to our web page at Contact Us to securely submit additional inquiries. To help us better serve you please copy and paste any previous messages into the new message.

Thank you all for your wisdom.

I am currently stationed overseas and won't make it home in time enough to renew my Texas CHL. I haven't received the renewal notification/package as of yet, but it should be on its way. I will only have 2 months before my Tx CHL expires by the time I get home. I understand submitting the renewal within 45 days of receipt of the renewal package. Won't happen. I haven't seen any exceptions for Soldiers. I did request info from the Tx Gov CHL site concerning my predicament but haven't received an answer yet.

Question:
I WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS AGAIN FROM SCRATCH WON'T I?

Thank God for Nonresident Virginia CHL! That is my plan in progress just in case. Don't want to leave myself and family unprotected during the process time, if it comes to it.
