About the Book

Texas has a long-standing and deeply rooted culture of firearm ownership, reflecting both its historical heritage and contemporary attitudes toward individual rights and self-defense. As one of the states with some of the most permissive and expansive gun laws in the United States, Texas's firearm regulations reflect a strong commitment to the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which protects the right to keep and bear arms. Legal Framework and Governing Principles: Texas gun laws are primarily governed by state statutes codified in the Texas Penal Code and the Texas Government Code, as well as relevant court decisions and administrative rules. The laws regulate various aspects of firearm possession, use, carry, sale, and transportation. One of the hallmark features of Texas gun law is the concept of "constitutional carry," meaning that eligible Texans can carry a handgun openly or concealed without a state-issued license. This law, effective as of September 2021, reflects Texas's commitment to reducing regulatory burdens on lawful gun owners. However, certain restrictions and conditions still apply, including prohibitions for convicted felons, individuals with certain mental health adjudications, and others disqualified from firearm possession. Types of Firearm Carry: Texas law distinguishes between open carry and concealed carry: - Open Carry: Texans who are at least 21 years old and legally eligible to possess firearms may openly carry handguns in a holster without a license. Open carry is generally permitted in most public places, but private property owners may prohibit firearms on their premises. - Concealed Carry: Prior to constitutional carry, Texans were required to obtain a License to Carry (LTC), formerly known as a Concealed Handgun License (CHL), to carry a handgun concealed on their person. Although a license is no longer required for most adults, the LTC program remains available and useful, especially for reciprocity with other states and for carrying in certain restricted locations. Firearm Purchase and Background Checks Texas generally follows federal guidelines on firearm purchases, including mandatory background checks through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for purchases from licensed dealers. However, private sales and transfers between individuals within the state do not require background checks under Texas law. This aspect has been subject to ongoing political debate. Restrictions and Prohibited Places: While Texas supports broad firearm rights, it also establishes important restrictions to enhance public safety: - Prohibited persons include convicted felons, individuals subject to certain protective orders, and those adjudicated as mentally incapacitated. - Firearms are banned in certain places such as schools, polling places on election day, courtrooms, racetracks, and secured areas of airports. - Private businesses and property owners may legally prohibit firearms on their premises by giving proper notice. - Special restrictions apply regarding carrying firearms in government buildings and certain state parks. Recent Legislative Changes: Texas gun laws have evolved rapidly in recent years, reflecting political shifts and public sentiment. The enactment of constitutional carry, expanded campus carry policies, and relaxed restrictions on carrying firearms in certain public spaces underscore the state's trend toward fewer barriers for lawful gun owners. This introduction provides a thorough overview of Texas gun law, highlighting the historical context, major legal principles, and current policies.
