Texas has more disqualifiers for a CHL than other states I am aware of. And at least one is damn stupid and has nothing to do with guns. Said item no longer applies to me but there is no way to change that. So LEGAL carry is out for me. And open carry, besides being illegal, isn't prudent.
So I'll wait until I move to NM...and open-carry...and MAYBE get a CHL there where the Texas-unique disqualifiers do not apply.
