AND Texas charges $2.00 for the same convenience.

Re: Any problem with an Out-of-State CCW for a Texas Residen
When I moved here from La in 2005 I did not have to take a written test to get my TX DL. I handed them my out of state DL and they gave me a TX DL. When did you move here?RoyGBiv wrote:When I moved here from NC I handed in my NC-DL, TOOK THE TX WRITTEN TEST and received my TX-DL.ldj1002 wrote:You are correct, "Should be and is are two different things.

The classes have been shortened in time and there are no longer any renewal classes required, so moving the right direction. Unfortunately you currently must still take the Texas class to receive a license.ldj1002 wrote:I think a person holding a CHL from another state, where it be resident or nonresident , should be able to get a TX CHL by just paying the fees. After all that is all one has to do to get TX drivers license. After all if TX thinks that other state qualifications are good enough to reciprocate CHL with then it should be good enough to issue a license.
The written test was, I assume, to demonstrate sufficient knowledge of Texas driving law.
It would be simple to have the same process for TX-CHL, although not politically possible at this time.

Texas changed their driver license requirements pretty substantially a few years ago. I have a 20 year-old nephew in Houston and he didn't have to do anywhere close to what my 18 year-old son had to do when each of them first got a drivers license. I was told they really beefed up the law in between.jmra wrote:When I moved here from La in 2005 I did not have to take a written test to get my TX DL.

Adults (18 and Older)
Individuals who hold a valid, unexpired driver license from another U.S. state or U.S. territory, or from Canada, France, South Korea or Germany (the countries Texas has license reciprocity agreements with), do not have to take the knowledge or driving tests.
Maybe Roy's NC-DL was expired.

When I moved here no tests..You did have to go register your car first and prove that was done before they would issue a TX dl...

I didn't have to do that. I did have to have the truck inspected before I could get TX plates, but all I had to do to get the TX DL was provide proof of insurance.texanjoker wrote:jmra wrote:http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/driverlice ... otexas.htmJumping Frog wrote:Texas changed their driver license requirements pretty substantially a few years ago.

Re: Any problem with an Out-of-State CCW for a Texas Residen
I recently moved to Iowa from Frisco, TX.
However, in Iowa you must have an Iowa CHL if you live in Iowa - all other CHL from other states are not valid for Iowa residents while they are in the state.
Yep, called them about this too and looked up the statute as well as consulted with my Iowa CHL instructor.
Not that this enters into play for the original poster's situation but some of the laws can be a bit misleading. Research is key.
