Big plus to getting your TX CHL is when it comes time to purchase a firearm from an FFL, fill out the paperwork and you're done with no NICS call.
Wait, can't you just get guns with no background checks at every gun show??? That's what I here on the news!!!
I guess transfer was a poor choice of words. I meant if I show them my VA CHP would I still have to take TX CHP class or do I just get to fill out form then wait.

You can carry on your current license here in Texas as long as it is valid. To obtain a Texas license you need to take a class, as mentioned above.
I wonder if that's as common as the media and general public think. Many firearm sellers at gun shows are FFL holders and would be required to do the background checks.
Short answer, yes you have to take the course, good news for you is when you fill out the application and send in the paperwork with a copy of you DD-214 you get a break on the state fees.
