Yes. Federal law states that a person who has a license to carry from the state they are in is exempt from the Gun Free School Zone Act. So, not really a resident/non-resident issue, but a license from the state required. For example, if you have an TX license, resident or non-resident, you can be closer to a school in TX, but not in another state.Matth3w wrote:Ok, so irrelevant to the Texas LTC resident vs. nonresident then?
Thanks everyone for answering my stupid, somewhat niche questions.

Re: New member ?s about TX CHL
Forgot that part. You will have 30 days after moving to request the change of address once you move to Texas. You will be valid to carry on the renewed license with Hawaii address until the new one arrives with the new address.srothstein wrote:
In Texas, the general rule is that the LTC and driver's license must have matching addresses. But we exempt active duty military from having their DL change to Texas or keep its address active. I think you would be okay to carry in Texas with the Hawaii address on the LTC and your active duty ID card until you changed it to a Texas license, but you might want to ask DPS to be sure.

Re: New member ?s about TX CHL
Welcome to the forum. Here are your answers:Matth3w wrote:Sorry for all the dumb questions.
1/ How long do you think to receive the updated permit since I submitted today? 60 days again like the initial?
2/ I did come across this:
Texas License-To-Carry LTC/CHL Renewals. As of September 1, 2013 class time and range time are NO LONGER required for handgun license renewals. As long as your license is not expired more than 12 months you may renew your license.
So because I submitted today and it expired 3/30/2017 I have until 3/30/2018 to renew, or I need to receive it before then? I assume the former rather than latter.
3/ Can I assume if I keep my AZ DL but have the TX LTC, that it is considered a non-resident LTC, and therefore has additional restrictions (like not being recognized by Colorado and being within 1k feet of a school), or does that change because I have an active duty ID card and my address on file at that point will be TX?
1) Depends, but probably less than a month. Some receive renewals within a couple of weeks, but will depend on how long it takes for local background checks to be returned. Also with holidays it may take a little longer.
2) Former
3) I believe it will be based on your state of residence, not your Home of Record (AZ). However, I may be incorrect since your DL is AZ and that would make it a non-resident license.
