okay RedRanger... Please tell me how it's done. I'm not a judge and also not a lawyer. I'm a firearms instructor licensed with the NRA and the DPS of Texas. You?
The whole reason I chimed in was we spoke of this same exact thing during class.
Apparently there is some guy down near Houston jamming classrooms full (150 at a time) of customers that want to get their LTC. He says how there is no shooting portion and how his class is real quick and easy. You only have to fire a blank into a sound capturing bucket and pass a simple 10 question test. Next he brings up a lawyer telling everyone how the laws for some other states are good here and not to worry. Lots of unhappy customers thinking they were going to receive their Texas LTC. Nope. They got Florida LTC's.
Are they residents of Florida? Do they own property in FL?... Nope...Then what are they doing with another states LTC? Oh... They didn't want to pay their money and time like the other 1M+ other Texas LTC holders.
I for one, don't want to have that conversation with the State.
So far there are some 4k+ residents in the state of Texas with a Florida LTC. The state knows ALL about it and how how people are skirting the system.
So I'll say it again...is not possible to receive a Texas LTC Online. If you want to buy another states LTC online, then get after it.
How it is done?
Very easy, You go to the state you want to get your out of state licenses in and look at their website and follow the directions, Virginia is the one I looked at. It straight forward and easy, there is no magic code to read. I would say it is written on a 5th grade level.
Here is something else to help you understand in case you are confused.
http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/RSD/CHL/legal/reciprocity/So you are scared to have a conversation with the state for being legal?
There are 12 states that issue Driver Licenses to Illegal Aliens in USA, but for sure they are legal in Texas to drive.
If you have an issue with the Reciprocity laws in Texas with CHL/LTC I suggest you take it up with your Texas Lawmakers and see if they will change the laws. But as of now it is legal to get you CHL online in certain states and it be valid in Texas.
I suggest you consult and attorney or LEO in your area to get up to speed.
