Present perfect relates a past time to the present time:
I have been standing here for an hour. (and I still am standing here now)
I have never been to Texas. (and still have not been there)
Past perfect relates one past time to another past time:
I had been standing here for an hour when the train finally arrived.
I had never been to Texas when Uncle George invited me to his ranch.
