You dont have to legally but it is a good idea. If they roll up looking like a criminal and have out of state plates you should probably walk away. Most on this site just sell to people with LTC. A bill of sale is not needed but is advisable and you can politely ask for a license this way. You ...

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the state. My 1 year anniversary is the end of this month. We love it here. Anyway, my question is on private gun sales here. I wasn't able to find my answer through a search and the Texas gun laws don't touch on my question. I'm looking for info so I can continue batteling ...

Most folks here will have no idea what rust on a car actually is. Pictures would help. It does not happen here. Just saying.


The scary this is, cars that are only a year old already have rust on them. I wish there was a good alternative to salt. But when you get many feet of snow and below zero ...

Cool, thank you everyone for your help. I feel better about it now. The salt they use on the roads up here just destroys cars.

Hello everyone,
The end of this month I'm moving my family down to the Great State of Texas. You all helped me a few months ago with CCW questions and the answers were great. Now I have an off topic question. It has to do with vehicle inspections. I'm use to emissions testing we do it every 2 years ...

Thank you everyone for the input. It's been super helpful.

One possible wrinkle. I am a Texas resident and have a Texas LTC. I also have an IL non-resident CCL. Illinois requires you to have a Texas LTC already to get the non-resident CCL. I'm not sure, but you may be required to have your TX LTC first, before IL will allow you to convert.

Illinois, I know Texas is 1 of 4 states Illinois allows non-residents to get a permit.


Yes, it is. You will need to contact the state of Illinois and see how to convert your permit to a non-resident and you would be good to go. The only thing to remember is there are restrictions with a non ...

This is good to know. Thank you. But I wonder if my CCW will be allowed in Texas.


Welcome to the forum :tiphat:

It depends on what state you are coming from and if they offer non-resident permits and will convert yours. Most states have a grace period, like 30 days to notify them of the ...

It is an old law and you need to understand Texas a little better. A lot of times, for political reasons, we do not repeal laws but amend another section to make it irrelevant.

So, Government Code 411.172 on eligibility says you need to be a resident for six months. But, in section 411.173 on non ...

Really? I thought I saw in the laws you had to wait 6 months. I'm gling to have to look it up again.

Hello,
I have a couple of questions that I can't seem to get answered. I've combed through the Texas LTC laws and I don't see any mention. I've noticed you need to be a resident for 6 months before applying for the permit. My wife and I currently have CCW permits from our current state with is ...
