Texas does not have an offense called "brandishing."PC §46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE
HOLDER. (a) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder carries a handgun on or about the license holder's person under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, and intentionally fails to conceal the handgun.
...
(g) An offense under Subsection (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e) is a Class A misdemeanor, ...
(h) It is a defense to prosecution under Subsection (a) that the actor, at the time of the commission of the offense, displayed the handgun under circumstances in which the actor would have been justified in the use of deadly force under Chapter 9.
There is no requirement to conceal speedloaders or magazines. You can hang them from your ears. You can wear bandoliers across your chest and shoulders.
