Question About New Mexico Reciprocity Agreement with Texas
Hello,

I am a Concealed Handgun Instructor for the State of Texas Trying to get clarification on the reciprocal agreement. I had a student last week arguing with me.
Could someone from the State of New Mexico help me to clarify if New mexico allows Texas CHL to carry in that State.
Thanks

Your student may have been referring to the recent situation in NM where they dropped all states they had been honoring except 5, and then in response to the outrage and/or other influencing factors, basically said "oops, sorry" and added them all back. Supposedly they were just conducting an "audit" and are still making their minds up as to what they will end up doing.

To answer your question directly; as of today, yes- NM honors the TX CHL. But that may change. Hopefully not, if they're even half-way intelligent (very questionable based on what happened).

For future reference, use this excellent site as a trusted resource:

Thanks for the info on that. I printed out the reciprocal agreement from New Mexico DPS and as of May 1st it is still honorable. So I will keep a close eye on this matter in the future. I travel to New Mexico alot have family there So I would like to know if I would be able to carry with my CHL I know they are a open carry state But I just prefer to keep it a secret lol again thanks for the info.
