Even if the DPS concluded that the OP was not chemically dependent and issued a LTC that does not mean that
he could legally carry if he were impaired by the medication that he is taking.

...does not mean that

(2) “Chemically dependent person” means a person who frequently or repeatedly becomes intoxicated by excessive indulgence in alcohol or uses controlled substances or dangerous drugs so as to acquire a fixed habit and an involuntary tendency to become intoxicated or use those substances as often as the opportunity is presented.

I am not familiar with suboxone so I can't speak to whether it meets the definition.
