I know that State Parks have gone through some changes on this. Parks all have a policy of no loaded weapons in the park. However, I think some time back the Parks Director issued a letter saying that CHL is OK. Not a change to any laws, but a letter as I understood it.
I'm going to a state park this weekend and I want to carry if it's OK, but I naturally don't want to run afoul of any laws.
What's the latest on CHL at state parks? Thanks

CHL AT Texas State Parks
God and the soldier we adore,
In times of danger, not before.
The danger gone, the trouble righted,
God's forgotten, the soldier slighted.

At least that's what my CHL instructor told me when I asked that question.

Yep, 100% legal.Kalrog wrote:CHL = legal.
This issue has been discussed at length here in the past. In fact, I've posted a scan of the letter from former director Andy Sansom regarding this policy on the forum a couple of times already.
Please keep in mind that your CHL is worthless when on Corp of Engineers property or most other Federal recreation areas. If you go to a State Park that is on a COE managed lake, such as Lake Whitney State Park, you need to be careful where you go if go sight-seeing.
