And they have ordinances that fly in the face of the constitution as well as government code:
Government Code 229.001(a)(1), which states: “a municipality may not adopt regulations relating to…the transfer, private ownership, keeping, transportation, licensing, or registration of firearms, air guns, ammunition, or firearm.”


San Antonio is closer to New Jersey than the rest of Texas. Be careful.
Most of their ordinances were adopted in 1995 or 1996 when L was brand new and they were trying to stop CHL carry in city buildings. A lot of them are now outdated and never have been removed. Much of the preemption code for the state was put into place after CHL was legalized to stop those local ordinance prohibition attempts. So, they really need to update their ordinances in accordance with state law, but we all know they aren't gonna do that unless pushed to edit them.
