Hand gun concealment law in texas
Does anyone know the law in texas that concerns carrying a concealed handgun in your car w/out a license? My friend's mother has a license to carry a concealed handgun and she had it under the seat of her car. My friend was driving her mom's car and was arrested for carrying a concealed handgun under the seat. Is is legal for anyone in texas to carry a concealed handgun under the seat of their car?

Re: Hand gun concealment law in texas
HB823 (House Bill) 823
So the Legislature passed HB 823 creating a "presumption" that the driver is "traveling" unless one of five things is true: (a) the weapon is in plain view, (b) the defendant is a convicted felon, (c) it's a public, not a personal vehicle, (d) the defendant committed a Class B misdemeanor or worse, or (e) the defendant is a gang-banger. (Conflict alert: I testified at the hearings in both chambers in favor of the bill on behalf of ACLU of Texas.) http://www.texasdefenselaw.com/recen...-your-car.html Last edited by wld_team : 11-21-2007 at 01:26 PM. |
