While the legislature was 'fixing' travelling again this year with HB1815, they seem to have included illegal knives and clubs, giving them the same status as a non-licensee having a handgun in his vehicle.

From HB1815, which goes into effect Sept. 1st:

SECTION 1. Section 46.02, Penal Code, is amended by amending Subsection (a) and adding Subsections (a-1) and (a-2) to read as follows:
(a) A person commits an offense if the person [he] intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a handgun, illegal knife, or club if the person is not:
(1) on the person's own premises or premises under the person's control; or
(2) inside of or directly en route to a motor vehicle that is owned by the person or under the person's control.

This is going to take a while for the LE community to become aware of this, but it would seem that after Sept. 1st, it will no longer be a violation for simple possession of a club or illegal knife within the constraints of HB1815.

But it shouldn't be after Sept. 1st.
