Constitutional Carry vote this Thursday!
April 13, 2021
Time is of the essence, so please allow me to get straight to the point.
Permitless Carry House Bill 1927, authored by Representative Matt Schaefer, is scheduled for a vote in the Texas House of Representatives this Thursday!
While this is great news, this bill MUST be amended to treat ALL law-abiding gun owners equal under the law so Texas can become the 21st Constitutional Carry state!

Constitutional Carry simply states that if you can legally possess a handgun, you can carry it — open or concealed — to protect yourself and your loved ones without having to beg for government permission.
Under true Constitutional Carry, ALL law-abiding gun owners should be treated equal under the law — and there should be NO confusion about who should be allowed to carry or where they can carry.
That means every law-abiding citizen who is legal to own or possess a handgun can carry it in areas where it’s already legal for licensed gun owners to carry.
It’s that simple.
Even better, the License to Carry system stays in place as OPTIONAL for reciprocity to carry in other states!
Constitutional Carry is law of the land in 20 states, including neighboring Oklahoma and Arkansas, so there is NO reason Texas shouldn’t become the next Constitutional Carry state.
But HB 1927 MUST be amended and voted out of the House before Texas can become the 21st Constitutional Carry state!
So please contact your State Representative and State Senator, encouraging them to fix HB 1927 and vote FOR its passage to the Texas Senate!
As I type this email to you, our call center is connecting hundreds of constituents to the offices of House Republican leadership — and they’re urging them to fix HB 1927 and make it TRUE Constitutional Carry.
Not only that, we’ve blanketed the state with nearly 100,000 pieces of mail in recent weeks, encouraging politicians to take quick action on Constitutional Carry.
We can’t do this without you.
Thank you for your continued support!
