You can look it up here: http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/InternetFo ... CHL-16.pdf

We are talking about unlicensed carry not CHL. Tell me what page number it talks about the MPA act of 2009.

Easy cowboy, we all can help each other learn. The MPA is a bill that changed an existing penal code(s). And, jst FYI, CHL-16 doesn't just apply to those that have a CHL, it is only a binder of important laws you should know. You are looking for penal code 46.02 and HB 1815. On the CHL-16 It is under CH. 46. WEAPONS on page 36. You will see PC §46.02. UNLAWFUL CARRYING WEAPONS. and it is (2). Just to make it easy, I've quoted it for ya as well. You can go the the link above for the house bill.
