It's not perfect, but it's a step in the right direction.

I read last week the Police officers called in and tried to get it changed to where an officer could question someone open carrying. There was talk of it being changed. Anyone know if that was added in or not?

It is my understanding that the final version does allow a peace officer to question someone carrying openly to determine if they have a license. Open carry will require a handgun license (currently called a CHL, same requirements.) The new law will take effect on January 1, 2016.

I would be happier with constitutional carry.

The amendment was pulled from the final bill, yet the 4th amendment and case law does not support allowing the police to stop someone without probable cause.

Makes complete sense. Just as an officer cannot stop you just to see if you have a driver's license, why could one approach you just to see if you have a CHL?

Actually police officers can stop us and check just to see if we have a drivers license, 521 in the transportation code. It isn't usually done, but it is legal.

Can you point to the specific title/subtitle authorizes that?
I was looking and could not find that referenced.

Never heard of just walking having to have or carry a DL......

I don't know of anyone who actually does it, but it's there.

Texas Transportation Code
Sec. 521.025. LICENSE TO BE CARRIED AND EXHIBITED ON DEMAND; CRIMINAL PENALTY. (a) A person required to hold a license under Section 521.021 shall:(1) have in the person's possession while operating a motor vehicle the class of driver's license appropriate for the type of vehicle operated; and(2) display the license on the demand of a magistrate, court officer, or peace officer.(b) A peace officer may stop and detain a person operating a motor vehicle to determine if the person has a driver's license as required by this section.

I must have fell a sleep during the traffic portion during the Police Academy. This is good probable cause for a traffic stop and it is legal.

Found this on another forum:

The US Supreme Court ruled in Delaware v. Prouse, 440 U.S. 648 (1979) that random spot checks for valid DL or registration is an unconstitutional seizure if there is not at least articulable and reasonable suspicion that the driver is unlicensed or the vehicle is unregistered.

1. Will the 30.06 rule still be applicable?
2. Can a privately owned company allow concealed handgun carriers, but deny open carry people?

There will be a new statute covering open carry (30.07) so business owners can decide if they want to allow one but not the other. If they want to prohibit any carry they will have to post both signs.

Many thanks Grizz. The discussion here at work is a little complex.

No problem, there has been a lot of misinformation floating around. If the internet forums are any indication, I'd be willing to bet there are guys open carrying right now thinking the law took effect September 1.

I have known since it passed that open carry would not be legal until January 1 but why is this the case? I always thought laws went into effect on the opening day of dove season.

Most laws do take effect Sept. 1, but DPS requested an extension to make sure they had time to get everything worked out. There are a lot of moving parts in this law that need to be addressed.
