Federal law can't set license duration, but any license term over five years does not qualify for NICS exemption.

The DPS folks that run the CHL program are very protective of CHLs and they are convinced that going 10 years without an update on Texas law is going to cause problems for CHLs. The Texas Legislature would have held 5 sessions between CHL renewal classes. I am concerned that the current law could cause us problems with reciprocity with some states.

I'm not sure how long the "one class in 10 years" is going to last. There's going to be some strong pressure from DPS to change it back to requiring a class on every renewal.
