These two bills are landmarks, a preemption bill that allows carry in City Halls, libraries, concert halls, government owned colleges, the capitol building, city parks, cities with no carry ordinances. Now the only places off limits are places expressly stated in state law, courthouses. Anywhere that houses or treats inmates, schools, and the state fairgrounds during the fair.

Texas has vehicle carry without a license,and you can carry concealed on your property and place of business without a license,Of course with a CHL we can carry in the State Capitol and there is an express lane for CHL holders,which made frequent visitors to the Capitol get CHL's even if they didn't plan to carry just so they could use the express lane
