My Texas renewal is due by mid-September and I also have a current Utah carry permit.

Could I just wait until September 1 to complete the renewal since it would be completed before expiration and not have to take a renewal class?

If so, since I have an active Utah carry permit, would I be allowed to carry until I received my renewed Texas CHL?

HB48 (Flynn, R, A+): Relating to the procedure under which a person may renew a license to carry a concealed handgun.
Impact: 1) Removes the requirement to take a renewal course to renew a CHL; 2) Allows a person to continue to carry a handgun in Texas on an expired CHL, if a) they timely filed the required renewal documents; b) paid the renewal fee; and c) have not been notified by DPS that the renewal application was denied.
Status: Final passage 5/21/13.

It's my understanding that part was removed before the bill was signed into law.

I re-read the enrolled version of HB48 before my post above... I did not find that language in the enrolled version.

Utah CFP laws changed a couple years so ago. In order for your Utah non-resident permit to be valid, your Texas CHL must be valid. If I understand it right, that means if one expires, they both expire.
