I received my TX CCW not too long ago (hooray), but unfortunately recently found that I'll be required to move to NY in about half a year. My question is regarding the process/instruction of what to do regarding my TX CCW. I'll inform the DPS of my new addres, but I'm curious if it will invalidate my TX CCW because I will now be a non-resident? If it stays active, do I still have the same reciprocity that the CCW naturally carries? Does anyone know the process that I would need to go through for renewal at the 5 year mark? Would it switch to non-resident CCW? Any input that one could give would be appreciated.
Thanks!
When you move to NY you can just file change of address w/ the TX DPS for your CHL and it will become a non-resident one. The bad news is when you renew, you have to take the class
in Texas.
Further bad news is, you can't take your handguns with you to NY. You have to first move there, get a New York State handgun license, then ship them to a FFL in New York... Use your NY license to pick up the gun from the dealer, and then register them with the county to have the serial numbers added to your NY license. You can't own a handgun in New York without a license and having it registered and added to your permit. When you first get your permit, it will probably have a target/premises restriction, meaning you are not supposed to carry it except to and from the range/home. Depending on the county, you may be able to get an unrestricted carry permit after you've been there for a while. If you are moving to New York City, forget it.
Also no post-1994 magazines over 10 rounds. New York State's "Semi-Automatic Assault Weapon" ban parallels the original federal ban, but never expires.
Good news...if you do get a NY carry permit, it is valid in Texas.
