Texas Gun Laws “Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the State; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.”
As of 2021, Texas law no longer requires people to have a license to carry (LTC) to carry a handgun in most public places. Texans can still get a license to carry if they wish. See the Texas State Law Library page for more.
In Texas, there are different pardons for different circumstances. You can apply for a Pardon, Pardon with Firearms Rights Restoration, or a Firearms Rights Restoration if you were previously granted a pardon but did not specifically request to include the restoration of firearms rights.
As of September 1, 2021, House Bill (HB) 1927, known as the Constitutional Carry Law, allows most Texans over the age of 21 to carry a handgun without a permit, either openly or concealed. Despite its bold name, Constitutional Carry is not a right in every situation and is subject to some limitations.
You can transport a handgun in your vehicle without a permit. Said handgun can be loaded with one in the hole, or unloaded. As long as it is concealed inside the vehicle, loaded or not, you are fine. You cannot carry a handgun in your vehicle, loaded or unloaded, in plain sight.
As of 2021, Texas law no longer requires people to have a license to carry (LTC) to carry a handgun in most public places. Texans can still get a license to carry if they wish. See the Texas State Law Library page for more.
Generally speaking, people in Texas can carry guns wherever guns are not prohibited. Some places are always off-limits. At other types of places, the property owner or the person in control of the property can choose whether to allow guns.
A: YES. Handgun License holders can enter the public areas of City properties, walk along city streets and sidewalks, or any area that is open to any other member of the public. For instance, they can enter a public lobby or customer service area of a City building.
Individuals may apply to the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles for restoration of firearm rights after they have been granted a full pardon, and instructions and an application form are provided on its website.
Texas law says no, but it contains an exception. Section 46.04 of the Texas Penal Code makes it illegal for someone convicted of a felony to possess a firearm. If more than 5 years have passed since completing their prison sentence (including parole or probation), the law allows possessing a firearm at home.

Complete the attached application form as presented. You may submit attached documents as instructed in the application.Article 1, § 23 of the Texas Constitution states: "Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the State. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. In addition to the right to bear arms, I firmly believe all Texans have the right to their independence and minimal government interference. Allows law enforcement (and often family members) to petition for a court order to temporarily prevent someone in crisis from accessing guns. The Second Amendment prevents the government from infringing on one's right to keep and bear arms. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed. We can protect the Second Amendment while protecting Texans from gun violence. I'm proud of Texas' long tradition of responsible gun ownership.
