HB 1587

White

A permitless carry bill that would allow those 21+ to carry if they meet the eligibility requirements for a license to carry a handgun. This bill would need HB 821 to pass in order to remove onerous requirements for licenses to make this a "good" bill. As currently drafted, the bill would need to be amended to allow permitless carry in areas where carry with an LTC is allowed to keep otherwise law-abiding citizens from accidentally running afoul of the law.

SJR 24

Hall

In addition to reported election integrity concerns, this amendment to the Texas State Constitution would allow Bloomberg/Sorors money to influence the fate of Constitutional Carry in Texas by putting it on a ballot and making it susceptible to mob rule. The legislature should first pass Constitutional Carry legislation before trying to delegate their duties to citizens via ballot initiatives. Ballot initiatives are how states like California "govern" and it is not the way things should be done in Texas.
