One of the great things about Florida is you don't have to pay for new plastic unless you want to. If you notify them of your address change the license is still valid. Plus you can do your address change online FREE.

The law does not require a concealed weapon licensee to obtain a replacement license after a change of address. You can continue to carry your current license until it expires.

Thanks, I've already done so. I appreciate all the help.

I'ver recently relocated to the Plano, TX area to be closer to my family, beside the economy in FL is in the gutter and I don't see it coming out any time soon.

As you can see from the above posts, there is a wealth of information here on the forum, and a great bunch of people to get to know.

What part of this great State do you now reside?

OK, thanks that's the way that I interpreted it as well. I've already changed my address information with FL state but haven't gotten new plastic yet. It's 15 bucks, it's on my to do list. Thanks for helping.

You're right: you're wrong.

Lots of Texas residents (including some forum members here) legally carry with a Florida CWP instead of a Texas CHL. The law makes no distinction about residency: a Florida CWP is valid in Texas.

Thanks for all the kind welcomes. Yes, TOOL fan, that is where the handle comes from. Great song!

welcome to the forum and to TX. Are you a TOOL fan by chance?

Tool is awesome

That's what I thought at first. But, even if you are a resident of TX you could apply for a FL, non-resident CWP and be fully legal in TX, correct? Or, am I reading this wrong?

Thanks for the reply. I just noticed on the handgunlaw.us site that when applying for a CWP in FL both the resident and non-resident applications are processed in the same way so that would make sense that even if I'm not a resident of FL but have a FL CWP it would be good in TX. OK, that being said what is the law in TX on other weapons, pocket knives for instance. I usually always carry one of those as well. Are they legal in TX?

Hello,
I just moved to TX and am a Florida concealed weapon permit holder. TX does have reciprocity with FL so I'm wondering if my permit is still good here if I have permanently moved to TX but still have an active FL license. thanks!
