Here are new laws going into effect in Texas September 1 [View all]

Texas gun laws will be more lenient

The Texas Legislature passed 10 pro-Second Amendment bills during the 2019 session.

Texans who legally own firearms will be able to carry them in public after a state or natural disaster is declared. The law came after complaints Harvey victims weren't able to take their guns during mandatory evacuations.

Licensed handgun holders can legally carry in places of worship unless given “effective oral or written notice” or warning that weapons were banned from the property.

Landlords won't be able to ban renters from having guns in their apartments.

School districts can no longer ban the possession of firearms that are stored in locked vehicles.
