From what I was told recently by the Texas DPS office in Austin - "Once this takes place - all of those Utah and FL licenses in the hands of Texas residents will be null and void".

While that might be wishful thinking on the part of DPS, that bill did not pass the legislature this session, so it would be at least 2013 before it could be brought up again.

Utah has passed a law, effective May 10, 2011, that a non-resident license will only be issued to a person who already has a license from their state of residence, if that state has reciprocity with Utah. But, licenses already issued will be valid until they expire.

I separated from the mil in Jan '10, and moved back to Texas. My FL license was coming up to expiration so I went ahead and applied for my Texas CHL recently--and got it last month. I appreciate the fact that a TX chl supports our great state, but out of necessity I had to apply elsewhere. Do what ya gotta do
