professional licenses are not independent of the state, MD's engineers and nurses EMT's Electricians AC contractors beauticians, all of them are only allowed to practice their craft/vocation in the state that its issued period!
It makes no difference if they're a permanent Texas resident, a temporary resident, or just passing through. If Texas recognizes their license, moving across State lines doesn't render it invalid. In either direction. The same as CHL now.
A CHL issued by Texas or Florida is valid no matter where the person calls home. On the other hand, a CHL from Oregon is no good in Texas, regardless of whether the person is a resident of Oregon or moved to Texas last month. That makes sense because the qualifications for a license issued by some State are either good enough or they're not, and that holds true even if the person moves from one Texarkana to the other.
