HB 823 by Rep. Terry Keel (R-Austin) & Sen. Juan Hinojosa (D-McAllen), which takes important steps towards clarifying that law-abiding Texans may carry a handgun for protection in their vehicles without a Concealed Handgun License (CHL)
I have seen elsewhere that Texas does not grant a "peaceable journey" status to citizens on its highways...
It appears that this bill changes that, to where it is not a damnable/prosecutable offence to have a gun in your vehicle, regardless if you are licenced to carry or not...
Of course your criminal history/status could trump that...
Just another observation today...
Does HB823 change Texas's "peaceable journey" stat
