Sounds like even the Governor is excited about this. No doubt that he will sign this into law.

What a roller coaster ride this has been. I'm not too happy we have to wait until 9/1/16 though. Small steps, small steps!

We all owe a debt of gratitude to all those who fought the hard fight to get this passed. Thanks to the members of this board, Mr. Cotton and all those lobbying in favor of this bill.

SB11 ?

House adjourned until Saturday

So, when does the signing take place and will it be televised?

That puts one GIANT exclamation point on it !!!

It depends on whether Gov. Abbott wants to spit in Bloomberg's eye. If he does, then it will be a public signing with great fanfare. (That's my preference.) He could also sign it in private whenever he wishes.

And now my computer can rest.............

You're confusing campus carry (whose still-pending bill has been amended to a 9/1/16 start) with open carry (which was amended to a 1/1/16 start).

Once signed by the Governor, you will be able to open carry on 1/1/16

Bloomberg and his Bovines....
Could they become free range ???

Finally!! I get some time away from a computer, the phone and bills. I'm going to lay on the soft with my dog, my HT (hams know what I mean), the remote control and watch TV. I need some mindless time off.
