FAQ
Texas currently has some form of agreement with all but four states and several American territories, ing to the state Department of Public Safety. Texas legalized constitutional carry in 2021, meaning residents don't need a license to carry a handgun if they aren't prohibited by other laws from doing so.
Guns Not Allowed: Secured areas of the Airport. Courthouse. Polling places on any voting days. Schools. Places of business with visible signage prohibiting handguns. Business permitted by TABC that derives 51% or more of its income from the sale of alcohol.
2021 Unlicensed Carry Law As of 2021, Texas law no longer requires people to have a license to carry (LTC) in order to carry a handgun in most public places. See our Carry of Firearms page for more info on this new law. However, Texans are still able to get a license to carry after the new law takes effect.
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.”
Legal open carry requires handguns to be carried in a holster. For concealed carry, the handgun may be carried anywhere on or about your person (e.g., pocket, purse, boot, etc.) so long as the handgun is wholly concealed.
Always check if your permit is valid before traveling. Texas does not require a license to carry long guns, such as rifles and shotguns. However, when it comes to handguns, different rules apply. You must have a valid permit, either from Texas or from a state with a reciprocity agreement.
