The Committee Substitute is still not posted.
Now that I have mentioned that, they should post it just to prove me wrong.

HB 1893 off to Calendars
The TSRA Legislative Alert announces that HB 1893 made it through the Public Safety Committee:
The Texas Legislature Online does not shows the introduced version. Did this bill make it through the committee "as introduced"? If so, way to go!TSRA members, family and friends, you made it happen!
On Wednesday afternoon, April 8th, the House Committee on Public Safety voted out HB 1893, TSRA-backed legislation sponsored by Rep. Joe Driver (R) Garland that would allow Concealed Handgun Licensees to protect themselves on college and university campuses, by a 5-3 vote.
The committee agreed that adult students, faculty and staff who are 21 or older, who have passed extensive background checks, who have completed firearms training courses and who have been issued a concealed handgun license by the State of Texas should be able to protect themselves in campus settings just like they are legally able to do almost anywhere else in the state. The right to personal protection should not be denied to a licensee just because he or she studies, works or lives on a college or university campus.
HB 1893 next moves to House Calendars Committee to be set for debate on the House floor.
