Found these:

HB2999 -Relating to restrictive covenants regarding the possession, transportation, or storage of firearms or firearms ammunition and the otherwise lawful discharge of a firearm.

HB4061 -Relating to the regulation of firearms, air guns, ammunition, and firearm and air gun supplies; imposing a civil penalty

SB1006 -Relating to gun violence restraining orders and gun seizure warrants; creating a criminal offense.

SB1110 -Relating to the carrying of concealed handguns by certain license holders on certain locations associated with a public or private school or educational institution.

FYI. HB2999 is on the House Local,Consent Calendar for tomorrow, May 5th.

Update: It was sent back to Local and Consent, considered, then sent to Calendars today, May 6th.

I'm guessing this will be good for gun owners who's homes are restricted by a property owner association.

CJ if you're on here, I beg and implore you and your group not to foul this up for the rest of us. Better yet don't even be in Austin this day.

Stickland (HB195 author) made comments to the news a while back that when the licensed open carry bills came to the floor that he would begin a rash of amendments toward removing the license requirements from the bills.

What was your impression of the legislator's attitude toward it?

Springer was very convincing talking about the intent. Most of them looked positive. One of them commented that the bill wasn't really needed if prosecutors would heed the existing wording in PC 46.03 that says '...if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly possesses or goes with a firearm... But Springer said one of the things the bill should do is cause avoidance of $$$ and time, arrest, etc., by someone who is law-abiding, has a license, and forgets the weapon is in his brief case, pocket, etc. when he gets to the security checkpoint, similar to what happens under 30.06 where the person carrying gets the chance to leave the posted area. Forgot to mention, Pickett (companion bill author) also testified FOR HB554.
