For example, assume someone from Lake Charles (LA) is going through a separation and goes to live with a family member in Beaumont while trying to figure out his next step in life. The house that he owns, as well as his immediate family, are in Louisiana. But he's moved out and is staying with someone in Texas. It may be a temporary visit, or it may be permanent, depending on what he decides to do next. At what point is he domiciled in Texas? At what point does he need to get a Texas CHL?TexasCajun wrote:A person visiting from out of state would have an out of state driver's license. In most cases, the DL and the CHL would match. During routine traffic stops, I've been asked if the address on my license is correct (it alwasy is as I've usually begun the paperwork to change the address before I've moved). So establishing where someone lives isn't that difficult.
here in San Antonio, we have so many military....these guys/gals may only be here for a year or two, many don't change car tags, drivers license, probably don't even think about CHL if they have one. Then we have the "snow birds", why not get a CHL that works in both states you call home, that may be a Texas CHL it may be whatever the other state is or it may be FL....or heaven help us you may have to get one for each state
but I know I would probably avoid that if I could, just for simplicity.
