If there is no brandishing law in Tx, what do they get ya for if one is say...carrying at 2:30, lifts their shirt and shows the goods?

Failure to conceal, UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER.

Sec. 46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER. (a) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder carries a handgun on or about the license holder's person under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, and intentionally fails to conceal the handgun.

There is no brandishing law in TX as far as I know. There is a aggravated deadly assault or attempt of aggravated deadly assault, when someone point a handgun as someone for no justified reason and threaten to shoot.


See Chapter 22 of TX Penal code. http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/d ... /pe.22.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Note to those who are lawyers: In Chapter 22, there is no exception to self-defense, why?

In TX, you can open carry on your property or from to your car. In your car, the handgun has to be concealed.
