Is a Utah nonresident ccw valid for concealed carry in Texas if I am a new Texas resident?

Only if you already have the Texas CHL.

That is the recent Utah criteria for issuing.

ETA: If you already have the Utah ccw and move to Texas, it would be honored.

Once you move to Texas you're Utah permit is no longer valid unless you also have a Texas CHL Permit.

This is the way I understand the law to work as well. i believe the other part of this is that when you go to renew your Utah non resident, they will require you have a Texas resident CHL for renewal.

A Utah non resident permit is valid to carry concealed in Texas. Regardless of whether you have a Texas CHL or not.

One more little tidbit that may be a problem. If Utah requires you update your residence with them to maintain your Utah permit, I wonder if they might invalidate your permit based on the new rules?

i think we're going to need our Utah instructors to weigh in on this.

We still have a valid reprocity agreement with Utah, so I fail to see why an existing Utah ccw would not be honored.

It was Utah's decision not to renew or issue non-resident licenses without a valid Texas CHL.

I think an existing license would be valid until expiration.

Here is what Utah says:
This new law becomes effective for first time non resident applicants May 10, 2011 and for renewal of non resident permits 1/1/2012. Those requirements are:
53-5-704.
(4) (a) In addition to meeting the other qualifications for the issuance of a concealed firearm permit
under this section, a nonresident applicant who resides in a state that recognizes the validity of the
Utah permit or has reciprocity with Utah's concealed firearm permit law shall:

(i) hold a current concealed firearm or concealed weapon permit issued by the appropriate
permitting authority of the nonresident applicant's state of residency; and
(ii) submit a photocopy or electronic copy of the nonresident applicant's current
I have a Utah permit. As a resident of California, which does NOT recognize Utah's, I can have a non-resident permit but when I move to Texas, I have to get a Texas permit in order to renew the Utah one. I am hoping that will be soon.

Florida accepts permits from residents of the states they honor. They will not honor a Non-Resident permit from any state they honor. So, my Utah permit, being a non-resident permit, is no good in Florida, but my Florida permit is. I no longer have a CA permit (it expired and since I am moving to Texas, I did not renew) but my Texas resident permit will be when I get it.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

It used to be that the answer was an unqualified "Yes." But last year, Utah passed a new law that they will not issue a non-resident permit to someone unless that person has a valid permit from their state of residence. What that means is that if you apply NOW for a non-resident Utah CFP, they will not give you one unless you already have a CHL. However, If you moved here with a valid Utah non-resident CFP, then it might still be valid. But once it expires, you will not be able to renew it until you have a valid resident CHL.

Where do you get this? It is so not accurate. If you don't know the answer, please don't give incorrect information.

I believe here that Utah would just do a change of address as Texas does for a small fee. Don't know that for sure though.


One of the Utah instructors will surely be along to answer this for sure.

This is the correct answer. Your Utah non-resident permit is honored in Texas. But, when it expires, Utah will not renew it unless you also have a Texas CHL.

You do want to update the address on the permit. You can do that by email. Info here: http://publicsafety.utah.gov/bci/CFAddChg.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It doesn't cost anything to update your address, unless you want a new card, then I think they want $15 for that.

That's what I think should happen but when you renew, you'll have to have a TCHL or move!
