Texas Gun Laws “Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the State; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.”
If you are traveling with a handgun, ensure it is in a holster or stored securely in your vehicle. Open carry is allowed but with restrictions. Certain places, such as schools and government buildings, prohibit firearms. Be mindful of these restrictions to ensure you are compliant with Texas laws.
