The Senate signed them only this morning. The House Signed SB 11 this morning. The House signed HB 910 yesterday.

Re: HB 910 Conference Committee

They removed the amendment, which makes sense to me, because that amendment is not needed anyway. There are already laws in place that require LEOs to have a reason before asking to see your CHL. http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/D" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... /C...

Re: SB11 & HB910 This week....

Open carry had the Huffines amendment removed in conference committee, now will head back to both houses for votes possibly as soon as Friday. ^^^^^^^^^ Shame too...IMO it was a good amendment. Yes...I know some will argue 'not necessary', or redundant, but the plain fact that LEO (not necessarily ...

Re: HB 910 Conference Committee

Didn't we just celebrate the passing of SB273? Isn't that a bill that merely reiterates current Texas law, but then adds a penalty because municipalities are ignoring that law with impunity? Not really. There has never been a prohibition on governmental entities posting 30.06 signs; they were simpl...

Re: HB 910 Conference Committee

The blame belongs on Huffines, not Huffman. After HB910 passed the House with the Dutton amendment, the LEO pressure was tremendous. They were/are putting pressure on the Governor to veto it, if the amendment remained/remains. I personally don't think Gov. Abbott would have vetoed the Bill, but it ...

Re: HB 910 Conference Committee

The "intent" of the language was the same however I'm not sure about the intent of Huffines since it was clearly a deliberate change of language with a well understood impact on the possible path of the bill. By putting this in there, it created tactical options for the House that would n...

Re: HB 910 Conference Committee

The vote to send it to conference committee was overwhelming.... 70 something against to 90 something in favor. It is hard to see how a 20+ vote difference would suddenly swing the other way and vote to pass it in the event that the committee reports the bill back to the floor unchanged. That is a ...
