If snowbirds need 2 drivers licenses/car registrations/license plates/CHLs when maintaining 2 residences; they'd probably just all go to Florida for 6 months each year with their money instead.

I see the residency issue a little different. Where are you eligible to vote, if you so choose? Where have you declared you legal residency? Vote in Texas, then you are a Texas resident. You need a Texas CHL. Just because one travels around and "camps out elsewhere does not effect your legal voting status.

Texas CHL eligibility requires one to be a legal Texas resident for at least 6 months.

(1) is a legal resident of this state for the six-month period preceding the date of application under this subchapter or is otherwise eligible for a license under Section 411.173(a);

The following 2 requirements totally stick in my craw and I will never support a Texas resident carrying on only on an out of state CHL without their removal. If you want to get additional out-of-state CHL to pick up additional states when travelling thats cool.

(10) has not been finally determined to be delinquent in making a child support payment administered or collected by the attorney general;
(11) has not been finally determined to be delinquent in the payment of a tax or other money collected by the comptroller, the tax collector of a political subdivision of the state, or any agency or subdivision of the state;

In my opinion, neither requirement has anything to do with CHL, but they are on the books.

No, it doesn't. Read 411.173(a)

§ 411.173. NONRESIDENT LICENSE. (a) The department by
rule shall establish a procedure for a person who meets the
eligibility requirements of this subchapter other than the
residency requirement established by Section 411.172(a)(1) to
obtain a license under this subchapter if the person is a legal
resident of another state or if the person relocates to this state
with the intent to establish residency in this state. The procedure
must include payment of a fee in an amount sufficient to recover the
average cost to the department of obtaining a criminal history
record check and investigation on a nonresident applicant. A
license issued in accordance with the procedure established under
this subsection:

I believe this relates to Texas issuing a Non-resident license, not to an established Texas resident carrying on an out of state license. The only requirement waived is the 6 month residency, not the taxes or child support portions.

I was commenting only on your statement that there is a 6 month waiting period. There isn't. If you are not a resident of Texas you can get a non-resident license. If you intend to become a resident, you are eligible on day one.

Ok I'm with you now. Good point.
