So is a machete legal since it's a "tool" and not a knife? And what if you carry it while wearing an evil clown suit? nidea

I guess I can't take my old K-Bar into movies, fine restaurants, and shopping malls. I can live with that.

Excellent. I can't wait to finally wear my complete samurai outfit to Walmart. I get funny looks when I wear it without the sword.

Well that sucks. Do you know how many people I have arrested for an illegal knife... NONE. I did arrest a kid for a sword, he was using the sword for doing robberies

I used to want a Cold Steel push dagger; seemed like something I would likely never use but would be handy if I needed it. Then found out they were not legal to carry. Benchmade makes one also. I may get my daughter one when she moves back.

yes you've been able to carry swithcblades in Texas for about a year now!

I was talking to a 35 yr veteran LEO at a gun show and he said he never rolled up on a fancy knife sticking out of someone - it's always a kitchen knife and even in the heat of the moment they were able to grab the one missing half a handle!! LOL!

Switchblades have been legal since 2015.

As we were in Washington, D.C. yesterday lobbying on our Knife Owners’ Protection Act including repeal of the Federal Switchblade Act we received the welcome news that Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed into law Knife Rights’ bipartisan Texas Knife Law Reform Bill, HB 1935, that repeals all “illegal knives” in Texas statute.

I heard a rumor that the 5.5" carry limit remained in the final bill. Does anyone have definite information on this?

Sponsored by Rep. John Frullo with co-sponsor Rep. Harold Dutton, HB 1935 would complete Knife Rights’ efforts to bring knife freedom to Texas by removing entirely the definition of “illegal knife” in Section 46.01(6) of the Penal Code. This includes the prohibition on double edge blades, Bowie knives, and the 5.5-inch carry limit.

The new law does not go into effect until September 1, 2017. Until then, existing restrictions on “illegal knives” remain in pace.

According to this, the 5.5" restriction remains intact:

http://www.legis.state.tx.us/tlodocs/85R/billtext/pdf/HB01935E.pdf

Look at section 3 in 46.01(6). Double edges, aka "daggers" are ok, but the length limit appears to remain.

Ok, here's the clarification:

Knife Rights Director of Legislative Affairs, Todd Rathner, has been in Austin again for another full week working to get this bill passed. HB 1935, as amended, eliminates daggers, dirks, stilettos, poniards, swords, spears and most notably, Bowie knives, completely from Texas statute, effectively allowing them to be carried anywhere in the state.

However, in order to get the bill moved after the tragic University of Texas stabbing, the amendment stipulated that knives with blades over 5 1/2 inches are now defined as “location restricted” knives. These knives may be carried all over the state except in a narrow list of places such as schools, colleges, correctional facilities, houses of worship, and bars that derive more than 51% of their income from alcohol sales. This is an unfortunate amendment, but the alternative would have been to watch the bill die and throw years of work in Texas down the drain.

This bill’s passage would still be a huge win for knife owners in Texas and given the tragic circumstances, Todd’s done an incredible job not just saving the legislation, but ending up with 95% of what we wanted. If we get this bill passed, we will be back in two years and again try to finish the job in Texas.
