Ok, I took Milke's advise to email my Rep/Sen/Gov. I did that and then did one more, I sent each of them a letter with a copy of the poposed bill. The first person to respons was Gov Perry's office who planly said, Please speak to you Rep/Sen as they are the ones who propose laws.
Second to respond was Rep Jose Melendez, who stated he supported the Conceal Carry laws in Texas and that intentionally or otherwise failing to follow laws would result in License revocation.
He finished by stating he would concider an Open Carry Law if it had the same training and Licensure requirements as the CHL.
My plan in to reengage Rep Melendez and stress that if HE would sponsor such a bill many Texans who support open carry laws would not be above a compromise and would accept legislation that would require training and even licensing. (Even thow I said the same thing in my initial letter). I want to see if I give him License/Training if we give me a comittment to sponsor or co-sponsor an Open Carry bill. I will post once I get another response from him.
