Would the driver have to recite the 30.06 verbatim? OR just say no guns? just has to say "no guns" when it's verbal. Does the driver have the authority to issue a legally-binding verbal notice? Penal Code 30.06 says, "a person receives notice if the owner of the property or someone w...

Not legal according to 18 USC 922(e) , the same law that makes it illegal to carry on an airliner. From that link, any common or contract carrier for transportation or shipment in interstate or foreign commerce if my Greyhound trip is from Dallas to Houston, then it's neither interstate nor foreign...

According to an acquaintance of mine, Greyhound occasionally performs a "voluntary search", where passengers have a choice of submitting to a search or not boarding the bus. This may foil my plans of carrying a concealed firearm on my trip next week. Does anyone know how frequent these sea...

Ideally an Employer would furnish a locker for employees to store personal property in while at work (yes even in a school). That would be a help to all Employees using mass transit to get to work. That would be great, but wouldn't that still be a violation of the Texas (not to mention the federal ...

I won't know for certain until January, but on my application I put down Berkner High School as my top choice. I don't recall what my second choice is. My third choice is JJ Pearce.

Soon I will be doing 12 weeks of student teaching at a Richardson ISD high school. I have a CHL. I intend to take the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (our bus and rail mass transit system) to and from the school to which I am assigned. I would love to be able to carry on the ride to and from the school. T...

In the first place, an act is illegal only if the statutes prohibit it. There is a statute that prohibits one from "[displaying] a firearm or other deadly weapon in a public place in a manner calculated to alarm," and that is Penal Code 42.01. Of course, it could easily be argued that if ...

Hi, all; I am trying to find some Texas statutes that discuss when it is legal to defend oneself -- and how -- from an attack by a dog. So far I've found two somewhat, but not entirely, relevant statutes: Penal Code -- sections 9.31 through 9.34, which deal with self-defense, but the law reads that ...

Hi, all. My understanding is that carrying a weapon lowers the legal BAC threshold to 0.02. Go go http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/1999-2000/billanalysis/House/htm/1999-HLA-4530-B.htm and search the page for "Alcohol restrictions on license holders". I have not found this in current...

Josh, I am also a UTD student. Maybe we can coordinate? Will you email me at pmw033000@utdallas.edu?

About 56-59 real (not business) days for a new application.

Late December: I apply online; the DPS mails me out a packet with blank forms and PIN. January 10: I send the packet to the DPS via certified mail January 11: USPS indicates that the packet has been delivered; DPS still shows "packet mailed to applicant" February 11: DPS still shows "...

DustinB, thanks. This is what I will do in December. I tried this in August, but I had to return to school before the documents were ready, so now I have to re-request them. I really wish I did not have to include these copies, since the DPS has access to this information anyway. What is the point?...

Thanks for the comments, all. I would like to emphasize that I have no plans to omit the description of my offense on the application. The question that I still have is: If I do not include the certified copy of judgment and sentence from the court, will it bar me from receiving the license, or will...

Ok, so I must and will list it. But to confirm: it is okay that I cannot include a certified copy of the disposition? It will merely delay the application?
