military personnel and veterans who have received firearm instruction as part of
their service within the last 10 years to be exempt from the range instruction
portion of the LTC course. less

House Bill 1935 repeals the prohibition on the possession or
carrying of knives such as daggers, dirks, stilettos and Bowies by eliminating
them from the prohibited weapons section of the Texas Penal Code. Restrictions
remain in place for possession or carrying of knives with a blade over 5 ½
inches long in public places and penalties are enhanced for carrying those in
the same locations where the possession of firearms is prohibited, generally. less

Senate Bill 2065 includes language allowing volunteers
providing security at places of worship to be exempt from the requirements of
the Private Security Act. This could include License To Carry holders approved
by congregation leaders, since the prohibition on possession of firearms by LTCs
at places of worship is only enforceable if the location is posted or verbal
notice is given. less

Senate Bill 1566 contains provisions allowing employees of
school districts, open-enrollment charter schools and private elementary or
secondary schools who possess valid LTCs to transport and store firearms out of
sight in their locked cars and trucks. These employees had been left out of the
2011 law banning employer policies restricting the lawful possession of firearms
in private motor vehicles. less

House Bill 1819 revises Texas statutes to track federal law
regarding ownership and possession of firearm sound suppressors. The Texas
Penal Code currently requires these devices to be registered with the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives. If the Hearing Protection Act that
eliminates this federal requirement were to pass Congress before the Texas
Legislature meets again in 2019, suppressor owners would have no way of
complying with state law and could be guilty of a felony offense without this
important change. HB 1819 also clarifies that non-NFA, short-barreled
firearms with a pistol grip -- such as the Mossberg 590 Shockwave -- are not
unlawful to sell or own in the state. Texas had been one of just two states
where this particular gun could not be sold lawfully. less
