Am I to assume that this TX open carry only applies to TX CHL holders?
In MO, (my state of residence) any CHL holder can open carry, but non CHL holders cannot carry at all, except in vehicles etc.
Soon I hope to see open/concealed carry w/o permit. I carry my Bible and free speech/assembly etc w/o permit....
I believe it applies to any permit holder recognized by Texas.
Texas recognizes all other states permits except for Oregon, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Vermont, New Hampshir, and Maine, according to usacarry.com.

That would be 42 states recognized.
