Steve will know more accurately, but I believe it was in 2009, the 81st Regular Legislature. The bill that was enrolled, signed, and made effective as of September 1, 2009, was HB 2730: https://capitol.texas.gov/Search/DocVie ... &DocType=B (you'll need to use your browser to search for the second instance of "fails to display a license" because the text is too long for the TLO's search-term highlight).Tex1961 wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 8:24 pmCan you point to the relevant section where the penalty was repealed.srothstein wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 8:21 pm I think this is a very gray area of the law. As posted, the law requires you to display both your ID and LTC if you are asked to by a peace officer or magistrate. There are two problems with this. The first is that the penalty for not doing so has been repealed, which makes it a useless law....
Prior to this, GC 411.187 had as item (2) that a license to carry a handgun "may be suspended under this section if the license holder"..."fails to display a license as required by Section 411.205."
HB 2730 struck that line completely, and now GC 411.187 makes no mention of any penalty for failure to display: https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs ... tm#411.187.
