Texas CWP

[rnc1118]

I have a Florida CWP that is valid till June 2016. I now live in Texas. Is the Florida permit valid here? And what do I need to do to get a Texas permit?

There's no real difference between a TX resident and non-resident CHL other than the address printed on it so there is no need to wait 6 months to apply, if the applicant doesn't want to wait (although looks like there might be a higher tax charged for it):
GOVERNMENT CODE CHAPTER 411. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY OF THE STATE OF TEXAS

Sec. 411.173. NONRESIDENT LICENSE.

(a) The department by rule shall establish a procedure for a person who meets the eligibility requirements of this subchapter other than the residency requirement established by Section 411.172(a)(1) to obtain a license under this subchapter if the person is a legal resident of another state or if the person relocates to this state with the intent to establish residency in this state. The procedure must include payment of a fee in an amount sufficient to recover the average cost to the department of obtaining a criminal history record check and investigation on a nonresident applicant. A license issued in accordance with the procedure established under this subsection:

(1) remains in effect until the license expires under Section 411.183; and

(2) may be renewed under Section 411.185.
