So if someone gets indicted for rape or murder in another state, their Texas CHL remsins valid until a Texas Peace Officer submits an affidavit? And its still legal to carry under the authority of their Texas CHLELB wrote: GC §411.187 (a) says the DPS shall suspend license if someone is indicted for a felony....BUT the very next section specifies how this is to happen. It is not automatic or by default. Some peace officer has to take an action to notify the Department in a particular way. Reading about it in the newspaper is not the way. So my point was until some peace officer takes this action (submits an affidavit), and the Department acts on the affidavit and notifies Perry, then his license is not suspended. (And he does not have to surrender it until he gets notice from the DPS. I suspect he stopped carrying anyway, and may have just sent in the CHL just to avoid giving Dems a way to pick at him.
I am curious as to who, if anyone, will take the step of submitting the affidavit with the relevant materials to support it. I am guessing one of the DAs investigators will be told to do it, but who knows, maybe one of the DPS officers will do it.
That presents an interesting arbitrage opportunity. I wonder if a Texas resident could do the reverse with a license from some other state.
