Early Thursday evening, on a 84-56 vote, the Texas House gave initial approval to House Bill 1927, by Rep. Matt Schaefer (R-Tyler), an NRA-backed permitless carry proposal that would allow law-abiding citizens to carry a handgun without a state-issued License To Carry (LTC). This is the first time a permitless carry bill has been debated by, and passed out of, one legislative chamber. Earlier today, the House gave final approval to HB 1927 and voted 87-58 to send the measure to the Texas Senate. Click on the links provided to see how your State Representatives voted on HB 1927. Be sure to thank those who supported permitless carry!
Thank you to Rep. Schaefer for authoring this important bill, to House Committee Chairmen James White (R-Woodville) & Dustin Burrows (R-Lubbock) for moving the legislation through their committees, and to Speaker Dade Phelan and his team for their leadership on this critical measure.
It's time for Texas to join the 20 other states that have legalized this personal protection option!

I would yes. After the freeze stuff if he vetoed this I don’t think he’d have a chance on reelection. It’s already iffy now. There’s talk about power issues already with AC use. So many people have moved in but almost nothing to be done to expand water/power.
Not to mention, Gov Grabbit it trying to outshine DeSantis, as a potential POTUS candidate.
If he vetoed this, that wouldn’t be helpful.
I think there would be an actual riot if it’s not passed after coming this far!
You’ve got a good one!
I’d be happier if the legislature approved secession. It will HAVE to happen eventually, preferably sooner than later. We cannot become slaves.
I’m somewhat surprised that Texas doesn’t already have this.
I’ve no room to talk however, living in communist Illinois. We have to pass a back ground check and purchase a Firearm Owners Identification card from the state to buy or own a gun.
it’s starting to look really good. C’mon Texas!

Better hurry, before the massive influx of criminal aliens turns Texas blue.
Yep. It could go blue by 2022 I think. 2024 at the latest.
See tagline.
Pffft.... The NRA has not done squat.
All of the heavy lifting has been done by the GOA.
The NRA sent a lobbyst to the hearings, while the GOA mobilized real flesh and blood members to attend and testify.
Please defund the NRA.
I sure do. He actually interacts with his constituents!
Dang good news. Now let’s see who pulls the magic black bean to kill it. Oh, that’s right, it is anonymous so we will never know. Effin Texas politics. First thing to fix when Texans are allowed to vote to become free and independent republic again.
Texas is my country!
Constitutional carry should not be infringed in ANY state.
