So, Government Code 411.172 on eligibility says you need to be a resident for six months. But, in section 411.173 on non-resident licenses, is changes the rule to say anyone who moves here with the intent to become a resident can apply.
This is good to know. Thank you. But I wonder if my CCW will be allowed in Texas.
I think the key word is "move". Once you move, I suspect you'll need to convert your current state's resident license to a nonresident license because of state laws from where you are moving. Then, you'll need to apply for a resident Texas license once you move to Texas. That way you should be able to carry until you receive your Texas license.

Re: Moving to Texas

I think you will need to contact your current state to have them change your license to a nonresident license and use that until you can apply and obtain a Texas resident license.

Welcome to the Great State of Texas and the forum.
