I have seen advertisements for out of state permits from
Florida, Virginia Utah and a couple of other states. While the permits
are recognized by Texas. They don't give you the school zone exemption.
You don't get the Brady Check By pass. It may not be good in as many places.
The training requirements are often below Texas standards. I know that some
of you will dis-agree with me but I think training is critical and training for an
out of state permit will not make you familiar with Texas laws and customs.
They also make a poor impression on the police if you are stopped.
Go with out of state nonresident license is asking for trouble.
