I think it was a typo, and he intended 1996 -- the year the law took effect.46.035(a) is unlawful carry by a CHL. Since there wasn't a CHL until 1995, I doubt it passed in 1966. Maybe you're thinking 46.02, 46.03.

A big 10-4 on that TYPO. Sorry about the gross confusion that I created. Effective September 1996 failure to conceal a handgun BECAME A CRIMINAL OFFENSE IN TEXAS.
Typo again -- or timeline error.
The CHL law took effect September 1, 1995 -- but it wasn't really effective until January 1, 1996, when DPS started issuing licenses.
All laws in Texas take effect in odd-numbered years, when the legislature meets. Either September 1 of that year, or immediately if that's written into the law (and I believe a supermajority is required for that).
Hello everyone! I am a new registered user, but not new to the forum topics. In 2008 I used this forum to keep up to date on Open Carry in Texas, and to gain direction on how to help. Admittedly I did not do everything I could have to help push Open Carry with my Representative. I am not making that mistake again! I am thrilled to hear this Bill is gaining some real traction finally. The problem I have is not being well versed enough in the overall process to write an impactful letter to my Representative or Senator with a request to help push this Bill through. In 2008, there was a form letter available on one of the websites that you filled in your relative information and sent it to your Rep and Senators. I did that and received responses that they would vote for it if it was presented before them, but they wouldn't sponsor the Bill. Now that the Bill has a sponsor, is there someone out there that could create a form letter for us all to send to the applicable people requesting support? I feel this would allow a greater number of people to participate in "rallying the troops". Thanks for any info you can provide!
Contact Representative George Lavender's office if you are interested in appearing as a witness in support of the bill. It is expected that a bus-load of UTA "spongebobs" will be signed up to testify in opposition to HB2756. Apparently they get "extra-credit" for participating in the legislative process by supporting their professor's leftist ideology.
Who has the link and contact info for Homeland Security and Public Safety Committee for those that want to get in contact with them regarding the OC bill?
I was listening to Cam & Co. on Sirius radio Monday night. Ted Nugent was on and he stated something that shocked me. As close as I can get is "We are pushing for Constitutional carry here in Texas and hope to get it through very soon. I mean it will be "real" Constitutional carry with no restrictions at all." Anyone else hear this?
I heard on the radio last night that the bill had passed.
