Re: Non Immigrant Visa CHL
Straight from DPS CHL FAQ:
If I am a legal resident alien, can I get a license?
Under federal law, aliens who have been admitted to the U.S. under a non-immigrant visa, usually are not qualified to purchase a handgun and therefore, do not qualify for a license. However, as long as you were not admitted under a non-immigrant visa and are a legal resident of Texas, you may qualify.

If a Non-Immigrant Alien, an alien in the United States in a non-immigrant status, please
provide a U.S. Visa, I-94 Arrival/Departure Record and a hunting License. The
definition of a non-immigrant alien includes, in large part, persons traveling temporarily
in the United States for pleasure or business, persons studying in the United States who
maintain a residence abroad, and certain foreign workers. This does not include
permanent resident aliens.
Hunting license dioes not qualify the temp resident to have a CHL.
