OK.
I found it.
under "enrolled" there is a 253 page document. The relative stuff starts at Page 208. In brief:
SECTION 12A.02. Section 411.205, Government Code, is amended to read as follows:
Sec. 411.205. REQUIREMENT TO DISPLAY LICENSE.
If a license holder is carrying a handgun on or about the license holder's person when a magistrate or a peace officer demands that the license holder display identification, the license holder shall display both the license holder's driver's license or identification certificate issued by the department and the license holder's handgun license.
SECTION 12A.03 An offense under Section 411.205, Government Code, may not be prosecuted after the effective date of this article. If, on the effective date of this article, a criminal action is pending for an offense under Section 411.205, the action is dismissed on that date. However, a final conviction for an offense under Section 411.205 that exists on the effective date of this article is unaffected by this article.
It looks like this is somewhat retroactive. Some accused today. could stall the court case until Sept 1st they will avoid any penaltys.
Like we are all so fond of saying IANAL
