moved to texas. Is my LA CHP still good now that I am a resident of TX and hold TX DL? I notified state police and they didnt send me a new one to my address in TX or send me a letter saying my current one is now void so I'm not sure. I remember reading you had to be an LA resident to have one issued but I didn't know if I could ride my current one out until expired. Statute reference would be awesome.
