Re: Collapsible Baton-Legal to Carry in Texas

If you are carrying a concealed handgun and valid license, you are exempted from UCW, including knives and clubs. Of course, if you are engaging in a deliberate challenge to the law or engaging in behavior that an LEO concludes "needs arrestin'", then it is probable that you'll get arrested anyway and then have to have it settled in court.

Anyway, here is where it is made illegal:
Sec. 46.02. UNLAWFUL CARRYING WEAPONS. (a) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a handgun, illegal knife, or club . . .
Here is where does not apply.
Sec. 46.15. NONAPPLICABILITY.
(b) Section 46.02 does not apply to a person who:
. . . .
(6) is carrying a concealed handgun and a valid license issued under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, to carry a concealed handgun of the same category as the handgun the person is carrying;
Pretty sure that exemption is ONLY making it legal for CHL holders to carry a concealed handgun.
