In all likelihood, not until the session starts. We've done it before, but it's rare, because pre-filing only gives the opposition more time to gather support. This bill was filed by a first-term Representative (who is clearly on our side!).

In other words, don't show your "hole card" too early, as a poker player would state it..

Guillen and Flynn had the same psychic dream premonition.

Almost identical.
SECTION 2. Section 46.15(b)
(b)
(4)

Flynn's bill has an extra space typo on the line

person's place of assignment and is [extra space here]wearing the officer's uniform

Select "Legislature" 82(R) 2011 That is the 82nd Regular session


Then do a text search for "handgun" and you will see a number of bills including Campus Carry (HB86) authored by Simpson. There is also a group of bills requiring ID to vote and specifies that a CHL is one form of accepted ID. And there is one (HB77) adding watercraft to motor vehicle as a place where one can carry a handgun without a CHL. There is another (HB181) that exempts firearms and ammo from sales tax.

Notice
HB 77 is similar to HB 25
