The first step is stopping the Democrats from reelecting Joe Straus as Speaker of the House in 2015.
I'll go along with that! Since gun-control laws (and knife-control laws for that matter) don't prevent criminals from obtaining and using firearms illegally, what good are such law?s (never mind, I know the answer to that question....)

My first priority would be passing Mr. Cotton's bill that allows CHL's to carry everywhere a police officer can carry.

My second priority would be converting a CHL (Concealed Handgun License) to a CWL (Carrying Weapons License). I'd like to be able to carry other alternatives including but not limited to a knife of my own choosing or a baton. If I can be trusted to carry a handgun, why should my knife blade matter?
Great ideas, both of them. How do I sign up to support them?

My CHL instructor had something that fits your description, I don't remember the brand. He wore it around his neck.
I think I'll just carry it in my pocket, hope for the best, and not lose any sleep over local ordinances.

Re: EDC of a fixed-blade knife in the pocket

I have an A.G. Russell fixed-blade knife. The blade is 3" long, not bowie-shaped or double-edged and the sheath (made of some synthetic) has a push-button release. It looks for all the world like a paring knife. And it does fit in all my pockets. So, I wonder if some LEO is going to find this knife "objectionable" if I pull it out of my pocket? I know, I know--it will all depend on which LEO, the situation, and the location. And although push-button knives are legal in Texas, I know that San Antonio has a local ordinance prohibiting carry of push-button knives and any knife with a blade over 3" in length. But is my fixed-blade knife with a blade no more than 3" illegal in SA? And I assume that other cities have their own laws concerning knives. This means that, in order to carry legally everywhere, one would have to know the local ordinances of every city in Texas. Ridiculous! Maybe we need to push our legislators to make the state laws apply everywhere.

EDC of a fixed-blade knife in the pocket

Is it legal in Texas to carry a fixed-blade knife in one's pocket? If so, what would be the best one?
