When I read this story today, I was left thinking/questioning--Is there a law in Texas requiring a gun license? I lived in Texas 18 years and never knew this. I live 40 miles from El Paso now and carry my gun daily with me (I have a concealed carry license in NM). I know Texas reciprocates. But for your average Joe, what did I miss?

EL PASO -- El Paso police arrested a 41-year-old motorist Thursday night after an alleged road rage incident.
Police said Moises Grau waved a handgun at another motorist as they drove along the 11400 block of Martin Luther King Boulevard.
The victim told police he was not threatened by Grau but wanted to report the incident.
During their investigation, officers found a handgun in Grau's truck and learned that Grau did not have a gun license. Police arrested Grau on suspicion of unlawful carrying of a weapon, and booked him into the El Paso County Jail. Grau was freed Friday on a $750 bond.
