I'm working as a contractor for the government and according to FL law, I have a 60 day extension to establish residency.
I got an email response from the FL licensing division and they stated I should apply for a FL CWP when I arrive. They will accept my Texas training cert, and a personal check for $117! With the time extension, my Texas CHL will be valid for a while longer, so It looks like i'll JUST be able to squeak by with my CHL's overlapping if I apply quickly (and do electronic fingerprinting).
I wanted to stay a Texas resident, but it's getting too complicated....
I shall return in the future!

CHL and moving out of state temporarily
Here is my situation: I have been a resident of Texas for most of my life, and my CHL is currently in the mail to me. I am relocating to Florida next week and will be on work assignment for 2-3 years. I have a few questions about how this affects my CHL.
I want to keep my Texas residency as I intend on moving back after this assignment. My parents are letting me use their Texas address as my residence on record, and they will forward any documents to me. When I get to FL, do I need to submit a change of address to the DPS for the CHL, or will I be fine as long as I have a Texas residence?
Something else to note: My TX drivers license is expiring this December so I will be renewing with a FL drivers license. How will I be able to log in online to make changes to the CHL, will my expired drivers license number still work? I'm thinking the solution would be to get a Texas ID Card before I leave. Will a new CHL need to be issued since it wont be tied to my DL or could it possibly invalidate it?
The other solution would be to convert to a non-resident CHL, but I would like to avoid this if at all possible.
In case you haven't noticed, I'm new here! I signed up with the advice from people on Sig Forum. Even though I'm going to Florida, I'll always be a proud Texan!
