Thanks for the confirmation, gentlemen. I appreciate the information and this forum.

I just moved here from Minnesota. I have Utah, Arizona and Florida non-resident permits; it is my understanding that Texas honors all three. I've read the Texas law, gone to the Texas DPS website, and read through this thread as well as other threads here on this forum in an effort to educate myself. I've also gone to other websites and done the "mapping" functions to verify that Texas does in fact recognize non-resident permits/licenses from these three states.

From reading this thread, it appears that the Texas legislature may consider action in the future regarding whether or not Texas honors the out of state carry permits/licenses of Texas residents who have non-Texas permits/licenses. But the state of Texas has not yet taken any action regarding this.

I signed up today for a class to obtain my Texas CHL. While speaking with the instructor, I mentioned that while I was waiting to have my Texas CHL processed, I would be carrying using an out of state carry permit. He told me not to do this because Texas would not honor any of my out of state permits/licenses since I am now a Texas resident. He said the Texas state legislature just passed that law this year, and it went into effect September 1.

Am I correct in my assessment that today, I am legal to carry in Texas with either my Utah or Florida non-resident permits and that the Texas legislature has not taken any action on this subject as of yet?
