The only introduced bill I know of that directly amends PC 42.01 (Disorderly Conduct) is HB2445 introduced on 3/5/15 and considered in committee on 4/21/15.

From Charles Cotton's 2015 Bills section: "HB2445 (White, James): Relating to conduct that constitutes the offense of displaying a firearm in a public place.
Impact: Repeals Tex. Penal Code §42.01(a)(8) that creates an offence for displaying a firearm in a certain manner.
This provision has been abused.
Position on Bill: Support
Status: Filed 3/4/15."
I heard the witnesses and the committee comments on this bill the other day. The he committee wants to see changes to the wording of the bill before it will give serious consideration to the bill.
