No you did not miss anything, other than a competent CHL instructor. Some else posted the statues, so I won't duplicate that, but it is also explicitly answered in the Q&A on the DPS site45 4 life wrote:There has been allot of talk on here about drinking while carrying. I have just finished my renewal class and was told by the instructor that there is a new law that just went into effect that clearly defines the legal limit of 0.00 while a CHL is carrying.
Is this something that I have missed?
"Q: Can I carry a handgun if I am drinking alcohol?
A: "Carrying" while drinking is not prohibited, but it is a criminal
offense to carry while intoxicated.
