Yes it does, but there are other states with "gun laws" that are more in keeping with the Second Amendment to the US Constitution, and similar provisions in their state constitutions.
Texas' provision is:
“Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the State; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.” Article 1, Section 23.
We are now pretty much as close to that as federal law will allow, again with the exception of "off the books" policies of certain cities...almost all of them in fact.
Other distinct and unique advantages that Texas has is the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, decent Tex-Mex cuisine, good Country music, Stetson hats and cowboy boots as formalwear, Texas Rangers for law enforcement, and the second-best range-fed beef in the entire world (after Alberta, but before Argentina). Texans are already almost as tough as Kiwis and Aussies, and with practise and good coaching Texas could be a dominant Rugby force, maybe even world-beaters. Ditto Cricket. Nothing that a bit of hard effort couldn’t address.
All of these are excellent reasons to be a Texan.
