HAh, txinvestigator! Love the sign!

As far as acting in manner that would draw the attention of the LE guys, not likely. I am a pretty quiet guy that minds his own business. But that is very good advice, thank you.

Well, I may be coming down to TX from northern AZ pretty soon to look around San Antonio to scout out a possible relocation, I shall study the TX carry and firearms laws so as to be prepared.

Thank you for the input.

You are welcome. I just checked and the Texas Legislature has updated their website to reflect the 2007 changes, so I have included links for you.

Texas Unlawful Carrying Weapons (UCW) law is the primary law that generally prohibits the carry of handguns and other weapons;

Here is 46.15, or non-applicability. This tells you when UCW does not apply; you want section (b)

http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/statutes/do ... m#46.15.00

Here are places your CHL does allow you to carry;

And places no firearms, illegal knives, etc can be carried ;

our Trespass by a licesne holder law;

http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/statutes/do ... m#30.06.00

misc laws;

http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/statutes/do ... m#22.05.00

see #8 below;

our self defense laws;

Welcome to Texas, hopefully.

I have both AZ and FL CCW permits. I may be moving to Texas. Does anyone have definitive info regarding Texas residents carrying legally and without harrassment from LE with an out of state permit?

I renewed both permits earlier this year. I would just as soon not have to submit to another fee if I don't have to do so. And the application process is considerably more drawn out than than either of the permits I already have.

I have looked at the DPS site regarding CCW, but haven't seen the specific info I am looking for thus far.

I should think a Texas resident would have to obtain a TX CCW if they want to carry in TX, otherwise some folks may get a non-resident permit somewhere that doesn't require as much red tape as TX does.

Anyone got the skinny on this subject?
