(e) A state agency, including the department, the Department of Public Safety, and the Lower Colorado River Authority, may not adopt a rule that prohibits a person who possesses a license issued under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, from entering or crossing the land of the Lower Colorado River Authority while:

(1) possessing a handgun; or

(2) under circumstances in which the person would be justified in the use of deadly force under Chapter 9, Penal Code, shooting a handgun.
Essentially you can't hunt on LCRA land without their permission, but you can carry.

As for the others, I'd have to talk to a lawyer, but I would expect that you can carry in those locations as they are not statutorially off limits to an LTC holder and the government may not bar an LTC holder from carrying on public land.

Apparently my vision omitted some of the words in the Cliff's notes version it released to my brain. :oops:

However, it does "for" shooting over and not actually shooting over. Isn't that a little odd?
