Reprint of a TSRA URGENT EMAIL ALERT:

The Texas Senate Criminal Justice Committee reported out HB 225 by Rep. Joe Driver (R-Garland) & Sen. Bob Deuell (R-Greenville). HB 225 extends the term of a renewed Concealed Handgun License (CHL) from 4 to 5 years. The bill now moves to the Senate floor for consideration, where anti-gun Sen. Rodney Ellis (D-Houston) is expected to try and amend several anti-gun provisions onto the bill. Please contact your Senators and urge them to support HB 225 and to OPPOSE SEN. ELLIS' amendments to the bill.
Also, the Senate Criminal Justice Committee will consider HB 823 by Rep. Terry Keel (R-Austin) & Sen. Juan Hinojosa (D-McAllen) on Tuesday, May 10, at 1:30 p.m. or upon Senate adjournment in Room E1.016 of the State Capitol in Austin. HB 823 takes important steps towards clarifying that law-abiding Texans may carry a handgun for protection in their vehicles without a CHL. Please contact the committee members listed below and urge them to support HB 823.
