There are no more "illegal knives."

There is a "location restricted knife" (LRK), which is a knife with a blade that is over 5.5" long.

You cannot legally carry a LRK in certain locations, and the list of locations is nearly identical to the list of locations where you cannot legally carry under a LTC.

You can read the text of the bill making these changes here: http://www.legis.state.tx.us/tlodocs/85 ... 01935F.HTM

The actual online statute affected, PC Chapter 46, has not been updated yet so you have to reference the bill text.

"location restricted knife"

Am I the only one to find that term a bit vague?

It would be if it were not clearly defined in PC 46.01:
"Location-restricted knife" means a knife with a blade over five and one-half inches
