Texas Penal Code Sec. 46.035 wrote: UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER. (a) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder carries a handgun on or about the license holder's person under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, and intentionally displays the handgun in plain view of another person in a public place. It is an exception to the application of this subsection that the handgun was partially or wholly visible but was carried in a shoulder or belt holster by the license holder.
That is all the legal definition we receive in the law. I don't think any rational DA would accept charges from an officer if you were out in public like that.
Doesn't the new LTC laws (open carry) nullify that subsection?
The bold, red section is open carry. :lol:
