Extends the expiration date of a handgun carry license by up to 90 days if renewal materials are submitted on time, and treats the holder as having an unexpired license during that period when carrying the receipt and expired license, so greater ability to legally carry a handgun.
The expiration date of a license is extended to the 90th day after the expiration date as printed on the license if, on or before the 10th day before the printed expiration date, the license holder submits by mail or on the Internet the renewal materials described by Section 411.185(a).
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a provision extending the validity of a Texas handgun carry license for up to 90 days after its printed expiration date if timely renewal materials are submitted, and deems the holder to have an unexpired license during that time for purposes of state weapons laws when carrying the receipt and expired license. This reduces a potential gap in legal carry authority during the renewal process.
