Re: Failure to ID

From what I gathered from the YouTube videos

"Open Carry Informational Meeting I | Houston Police Department | Live Event"

"Open Carry Informational Meeting II | Houston Police Department | Live Event"

Constitutional carry in the state of Texas is illegal. There is a law that says you cannot carry. The CHL (LTC) provides an exception to the law. A LEO can therefore assume you are breaking the law when you carry and can detain you until you prove you are not breaking the law.

This is different than driving. Driving is not illegal in the state of Texas. There is no law that says you can't drive. There is a law that says you must have a driver license if you drive, but there is no law that says driving is illegal.

The act of driving does not give a LEO reasonable suspicion to suspect that you are breaking the law. The act of carrying does give a LEO reasonable suspicion to suspect that you are breaking the law.
