I have heard that Texas has stopped requiring us to go through the course and qualify anymore to renew, just fill out a renewal form and send it in. Has anybody else heard this?

Also Pennsylvania may reciprocate with us, but how many other states reciprocate with Pennsylvania? I know that many many states reciprocate with Texas.

I'm confused. Why would the State of Pennsylvania give a CHL to a fish?

I guess it is time for me to get armed (legally). 4 NOV is not all that far off.

Anyone know of an organization that offers this training in the Flower Mound area?

Thanks.

An interesting "work around" is suggested to avoid letting your Texas CHL expire due to the long processing times:

Since Pennsylvania and Texas have a reciprocal CHL agreement, and you can get a Pennsylvania CHL, accepted here in Texas, with no training requirements. It is processed in 30 days and the cost is $26! The license is good for 5 years.


Here is what is required along with the Application form from the website:

A photo copy of a license to carry a firearm (concealed carry permit) from your home state if that state has a concealed carry law.
A photo copy of your Driver's License.
A self addressed stamped envelope.
$26.00 fee for five year license and out of state processing. (Check/money order made out to Centre County Sheriff.)
