However, Utah now requires Texas residents to have a Texas CHL first (as of May this year.)
I wish I knew why Utah did this.
They lost reciprocity with New Mexico, a neighboring state, as well as at least one more state. Changing their law was an attempt to regain reciprocity with those states, as their requirement to have a home state license applies only if that state has reciprocity with Utah. The bottom line is Utah residents were losing the ability to carry in other states because of the irresponsible advertising by certain Utah instructors in other states, including Texas. It's not the existence of the Utah license that was a problem. It was the way it was advertised; i.e. as way to circumvent the requirements for obtaining a license in your home state, whether Texas, New Mexico, or elsewhere.
