  Renewal licenses are valid for five years. The license will remain valid as long as you continue to meet all the eligibility criteria.
  
  Does changing or updating the address on my drivers license automatically update the address on my CHL License?
  
  No. Updating the address on your driver license does not update or change the address on your concealed handgun license. You must update or change your address with the Concealed Handgun Licensing Bureau. You may change your address online at www.txdps.state.tx.usor you may download a Request for Duplicate Concealed Handgun License and Change of Name or Address form, under the downloadable forms link on the Concealed Handgun License (CHL) website. You may also send a letter including your full name, CHL number, old address and new address and a cashier's check, money order or personal check for $25 to the Texas Department of Public Safety, Concealed Handgun Licensing Bureau, P.O. Box 15888, Austin, Texas, 78761-5888.
  
  Where can I find if my concealed carry license from my home state is also valid in Texas?
  
  You may check to see if your Concealed Handgun License is recognized, in Texas, by checking the DPS Website under CHL Agreements With Other States. All licenses that are recognized or honored by Texas are listed either as reciprocal or unilateral proclamation.
  
  Why does Texas recognize some states carry licenses that do not recognize the Texas CHL License?
  
  Under the statute, Texas may recognize another state's license if their license meets minimal criteria for recognition. The attorney general will evaluate each state's handgun licensing program to determine whether statutory reciprocity requirements are met. This recognition follows evaluation of the other states licensing statute to see if their law satisfies that minimum criteria. Upon recommendation of the attorney general, the governor will issue a proclamation or sign a reciprocity agreement recognizing a concealed handgun license issued by another state.
  
  If I am licensed to carry a handgun concealed in Texas, can I carry my handgun legally in another State?
  
  Your Texas concealed handgun license doesn't allow you to carry a handgun in another state, unless that state recognizes Texas licenses. Contact the state you will be entering to find out if it recognizes Texas concealed handgun licenses.
  
  If I have a Texas CHL License, and I am traveling to another state, what are my responsibilities as far as carrying in that other state?
  
  If you are in another state that has reciprocity with Texas you must follow that state's laws for carrying a concealed handgun. The same responsibility applies to anyone from that other state when traveling in Texas; they must follow the Texas laws for carrying a concealed handgun. Most states will have a website for their concealed carry licenses or permits that will update you on their laws. Alternatively, you may call the other state and ask what their laws are for carrying a concealed handgun while in that state.
  
  If I am a legal resident alien, can I get a Texas CHL License?
  
  Under federal law, aliens who have been admitted to the U.S. under a non-immigrant visa, usually are not qualified to purchase a handgun and therefore, do not qualify for a license. houston chl classes
