God has blessed my family, we get to return to TX after 30 years in the "North"! I currently have a Utah CCL that covers me in TX but once I formally become a TX resident, I'd prefer not to be unarmed while waiting for my TX CCL. As soon as I start working back in TX (at least 30-45 days before we move officially) I'd like to get a non-resident CCL.
My question is: if you have a non-resident CCL and you become a resident, is there a process to just transition you license - or do you have to start over with a resident application and wait time?
Thanks in advance!

There is no transition process. You will have to start from scratch with the application. The wait time is much shorter than when I got my CHL. [That is one reason the got my Utah CCL after I got my Texas license.] I don't understand your concern. Once you move to Texas your Utah CCL will cover you until you get the Texas CHL. There is no longer a minimum time requirement for residency before getting a Texas CHL. Just don't wait until your Utah CCL gets too close to expiring.
