If he doesn't, than it would be strange indeed. HB910 will clear committee, then Calendars Committee becomes the issue.

Chas.
We don't happen to have a friend in calendars do we? Lol
:thumbs2: Like peanuts, you can't just have one.

Chas.
The chair is Todd Hunter, a Republican rated A by the TSRA. Vice-chair is Eddie Lucio III, a Democrat with a B- rating. I didn't look into the other committee members.
Out of 15 total committee members 5 are authors/co-authors. There are 5 other Rs. Hopefully it will get through, but that's the big challenge.

Sorry, I think I figured it out. Nothing is assigned that far down the list. Should just keep reading, which I am good at.
Has not been assigned to committee yet. Process just started happening.

That's Homeland Security & Public Safety...I believe that's where it died before and the logical place for it to go.

It should help that the bill's author is the Chair of the committee, there are 3 other co-authors of the bill on the committee and of the five that are neither authors or co-authors two are Republicans.

I'm just saying I'm more optimistic than I was a month ago when Kory was going berserk and the Capitol.

Re: I am liking HB910 / SB346

Hopefully Charles will read this and can shed some light, but I'm interested in all responses.

Now that SB 17 has passed out of committee and will be going to the floor, it appears it is assured to be passed.

As of this writing, HB 910 (its companion bill in the House) has a total of 75 authors and co-authors. Is it all but certain licensed open carry will be the law of the land in Texas by the end of the year?

I'm feeling more comfortable about it than I have at any time in the past. What about you.
