Yes the wording of the DPS is not the best as it suggests that non immigrant aliens are generally prohibited from gun purchases and therefore not elligable for a CHL. A hunting license makes the exception legal and the DPS does even have a section on its website for us non immigrant aliens and the documentation necessary. Must say i am happy to have mine :-)

Hi tacticool ........ actually non immigrant aliens CAN obtain a CHL without too much problem ......... i just got mine and i fall under this catagory

Does anyone have an update on the relaxation of the 90 Day rule for non immigrant aliens ????? I am a non immigrant alien in such a position and have recently obtained my CHL ..... but this (it seems) does not aid my purchases ..... i travel frequently for work and often leave the US for a few days , meaning my I94 card is always changing and the 90 day continuous residence is always interrupted.

Hi Tim , just perhaps a few words of encouragement . I am a visa holder and as such a non immigrant alien. I can tell you it is possible to purchase a firearm with the following docs ...... i have purchase 3 already.

Texas DL (mine also says temporary visitor)
Texas Hunting license
I94 Admission card (must be 90 days old at least) ...... this is being review and will soon not be necessary .... the 90 days i mean
Proof of residency .... 90 days of utilities bill or similar

For me it really was simple and painless ........... hope this helps
