Permitless Carry? - Not Yet

Permitless carry is still a hot topic in Texas but is not yet legal. HB 1927 still has a long way to go and a short time to get there before the end of the legislative session on May 31st.

The Bills Progress so far:

Currently, the bill is enrolled “Agreed to or Passed by Both House and Senate”. But the Senate made several changes to the bill before passing it, requiring the House of Representatives to review the amendments and concur with their addition. The House refused to concur and requested a conference committee.

What’s next:

Now a committee of five Senators and five Representatives will resolve the differences between the House and Senate versions of a bill. If the committee can resolve the differences, a conference committee report is created and sent to the Senate and House. It must be voted on and must be approved or rejected without amendment. If approved by both houses, the bill is signed by the presiding officers and sent to the governor. Upon receiving a bill, the governor has 10 days in which to sign the bill, veto it, or allow it to become law without a signature. The Legislative Session must complete this process by May 31st, 2021. If the bill does become law, it won’t go into effect until September 1st, 2021.
