Expired CHL

[gogordy]

Boy, it like pulling teeth to get an answer to this question....The question is: If your CHL is expired and the renewal is on the way, are you still supposed to show the police officer the expired CHL if you are stop for any other reason?????

That's why I started my renewal process the day I got notified - which was 6 mos before the expiration date. Why don't you carry the firearm in the glove box - that'll take care of traffic stop concerns. But your question (GC stands for Government Code):

GC §411.205. REQUIREMENT TO DISPLAY LICENSE.

If a license holder is carrying a handgun on or about the license holder’s person when a magistrate or a peace officer demands that the license holder display identification, the license holder shall display both the license holder’s driver’s license or identification certificate issued by the department and the license holder’s handgun license.
I think that means if you aren't carrying, you needn't show it. If you are carrying, you may well be in violation of Texas law.

You should cease carry until your new one arrives, took my wife 6 weeks

Just show it and you won't have to worry about it. But do not carry on your person until you receive your new license.

You cannot carry with an expired CHL/LTC, but you can still carry in your vehicle (concealed, of course) under the Motorist Protection Act of 2007.

As for when you are not carrying, there is no requirement to show a CHL/LTC as BRD@66 posted (per Texas Government Code §411.205)

Question:
Is the issuance of a renewal LTC a pro forma matter of bureaucratic paperwork, or is renewal based on something like an abbreviated version of the original requirements (i.e. background check, etc)?

If it is indeed a pro forma process, it seems the same procedure used for renewal of a TDL should be mandatory in order to allow a Constitutional right to continue during the state mandated renewal proce$$.

Or .... have our Texas Legislative liberals simply supplied themselves with another, ready made, pressure point for future use by the anti-2A public servants whom we see growing like a malignancy?
