If the LEO and ADA really want to push something on a person who had a MWAG event.. There is always
Sec. 42.01. DISORDERLY CONDUCT. (a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly:
SNIP
(8) displays a firearm or other deadly weapon in a public place in a manner calculated to alarm;

Charge first, let a Judge and jury decide if it was Intentional , Knowingly and calculated to cause alarm.

I've long since learned, what I and those like me think and believe is common sense and obvious is less common and sensible then i used to believe.
SB229 did away with "in a manner calculated to alarm".

(a)AAA license holder commits an offense if the license
holder carries a handgun on or about the license holder ’s person
under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code,
and intentionally displays the handgun in plain
view of another person in a public place.
Did it? I thought SB299 updates PC 46.035, not PC 42.01?
4/13/1996 Completed CHL Class, 4/16/1996 Fingerprints, Affidavits, and Application Mailed, 10/4/1996 Received CHL, renewed 1998, 2002, 2006, 2011, 2016...). "ATF... Uhhh...heh...heh....Alcohol, tobacco, and GUNS!! Cool!!!!"

Ok so you're saying SB299 also changed Sec. 42.01. DISORDERLY CONDUCT.? I see the verbiage in SB299, I don't see any change at all for Sec. 42.01. DISORDERLY CONDUCT.
I don't seem to be reading it that way.. but who knows IANAL

Can someone point me to the part of SB299 that changes Sec. 42.01. DISORDERLY CONDUCT.

Correction:
If you do not intentionally show it, ie it is accidental because the shirt snagged on something as in your example, it is not a crime. Someone may still call the cops though and they may still ARREST you, but you did nothing wrong. Note, the arrest may cost a small fortune.

I'm sure someone else will chime in, but I know of zero exclusions for disarming currently. Basically, it doesn't matter.
