Which is the same as Texas law. It would be a good idea for anyone with a
permit to study the laws of the reciprocal law states before going there.

Although alphabetically incorrect, California should have been at the top
of that list. There isn't even a reciprocal cooperation between county
jurisdictions in that state.
