If you are certain you'll be moving to TX and your current home state does not offer non-resident licenses......
Get yourself a TX Non-resident CHL BEFORE you move.
You'll be down here looking for a house or apartment before the move, right?
Take the class and apply for non-res CHL. Then when you arrive, send in the updated paperwork to convert to a resident CHL (I think it's a $25 fee).
And note that after 1-Sept-13, the TX CHL class is reduced to 4-6 hours from the current 8-10 hours.
To the OP.... Welcome.!
