I understand that there are two categories of CHLs--one for revolvers and one for semi-automatics. Is this true?

Section 411.179 of the Texas Government Code addresses this question. The two categories are (1) SA and (2) NSA.

SA means "any handgun, whether semi-automatic or not." SA includes revolvers.

NSA means handguns that are not semi-automatic. That includes revolvers.
