As has been documented in many threads, there are reasons a Texas resident might be disqualified from getting a Texas license, but still be qualified to get a license from another state as a non-resident. You may or may not agree with this "loophole", but it's worth admitting that some decent babies get tossed out with the bathwater occasionally.

For me, I moved around a bunch. So, I maintained my Florida license as a non resident while I moved about... FL was early out of the gate and widely accepted reciprocally. I only recently got my TX license after living here for 7 years. Why should I be required to spend an extra ~$300 if I have a valid license already? My background has been checked, my prints are on file with the Feds, I've taken a class, demonstrated proficiency and read the TX regs when I started traveling here...

Utah fixed themselves.... Let's kill this unnecessary legislation.
