Easy Question-Moving procedures

This is an easy question, and one which I should know. But i cannot remember the procedure I need to go through when I move. I am in the process of moving to Arkansas. I know they reciprocate with Texas. I will probably go ahead and get my Arkansas CHL. But is that something I need to make a priority? Or will my Texas CHL be sufficient for a while?

Also, remind me of what I need to do about getting a change of address.

Thanks in advance,

Keith

You will have to check Arkansas law for how they want that handled; however, your Texas CHL will remain active and valid here in Texas as long as you continue to renew it.

To change address go to Texasonline.com, select other services and follow the CHL links.

Assuming that Arkansas doesn't have a problem with it, you can get a Texas ID card with your Arkansas address, and update your CHL to show your Arkansas address.

Due to a quirk in the law, a non-resident with a Texas CHL must also have a Texas ID card when carrying in Texas.

Your Texas CHL won't work for bypassing NICS in Arkansas, though; that only works in the issuing state.

They have recently changed the requirement for a Texas ID for a non-resident license, it's no longer needed.

Ah, even better then. Just change the address, and you're good.

Assuming Arkansas doesn't have a problem with it, that is. I don't think they do, but it's wise to check. I'd still suggest taking the Arkansas course, just to get up to speed on their laws.

Yep. In fact, DPS will not even issue an ID card to a non-resident.
