laws, and residents from these states with Concealed Carry Licenses can legally carry concealed handguns in
Texas in accordance with Texas Law) These states HONOR the Texas CHL even though Texas does not
recognize these states' Concealed Carry License (Texas CHL holders can legally carry concealed handguns in these
states in accordance with their laws, but residents of these states CANNOT
legally carry concealed handguns in Texas) The State of Texas recognizes these states' Concealed Carry
License even though these states DO NOT honor the Texas CHL (Residents from these states with Concealed Carry
Licenses can legally carry concealed handguns in Texas in accordance with Texas Law, but Texas CHL holders
CANNOT legally carry concealed handguns in these states)Residents of all states are eligible for a non-resident Texas CHL (they may be licensed to legally carry a concealed handgun while visiting the Great State of Texas and while in those states that honor a non-resident Texas CHL). PLEASE NOTE: While all states in white (except Illinois and Wisconsin) and all of the states in green in the above map theoretically issue Concealed Carry Licenses, some are Shall Issue states and others are Discretionary Issue states. The Shall Issue states are required by law to issue a license unless you are not eligible. In Discretionary Issue states, you may be required to demonstrate a "need", know the right people, or make "contributions" to the right "cause". Refer to the map below. | ||||||||||||||
