On Thursday, March 25, the Texas House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety held a marathon, late-night hearing on several gun-related bills, including House Bill 1238, by Rep. Kyle Biedermann (R-Fredericksburg), House Bill 1911, by Rep. James White (R-Woodville), House Bill 1927, by Rep. Matt Schaefer (R-Tyler), and House Bill 2900, by Rep. Cole Hefner (R-Mount Pleasant), all permitless gun carry proposals that would allow law-abiding citizens to carry a handgun without a state-issued License To Carry (LTC).
The existing LTC law would not be repealed under these measures. Criminals who are prohibited from possessing firearms (i.e., felons, fugitives from justice, individuals committed by the courts for mental illness, domestic abusers) would still be barred from carrying guns.
This legislation would not prevent the enforcement of any laws broken by criminals who misuse firearms.
