I see their is 9 members of the Homeland Security & Public Safety Committee. If we want to get CSHB700 passed would it help to contact all of them?Charles L. Cotton wrote:
I have learned that all committee substitutes in Homeland Security & Public Safety were "withdrawn subject to vote" meaning they were laid out and debated, then they were withdrawn until the vote on the individual bills. This is usually the following week when the Committee meets again.

Re: NRA and TSRA Support CSHB700
Got this email today from Rep. Lavenders office
Good Morning –
The hearing yesterday went very smoothly. We had many passionate individuals along with Alice Tripp from the Texas State Rifle Association testify in favor for HB 700 “Open Carry”
We laid out our Committee Substitute to address concerns with “dual points of resistance” and Section 30.06 signage.
Now you may carry your handgun in any type of holster. Also, we created a different sign to allow property owners to ban open carry at their discretion. For clarification, Section 30.06 still bans concealed carry and 30.07 bans open carry. Therefore, if a property owner wants to ban both types of carry, her or she will have to post both signs.
Only one person testified against the bill. Thankfully, her testimony was incoherent and not very strong.
We look forward to your continued support as we move forward in the process. Please contact Chairman Joe Pickett to voice your support.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact don’t hesitate to email or call.
Best regards,
Noah Gilliam
Legislative Director
Rep. George Lavender
Texas House District 1
