EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2021
WARNING!
As of September 1st, 2021, a non-prohibited person (see pages 8-9) who
does not have a License to Carry (“LTC”) may carry in most places (see
page 12) as if they had a LTC.
Important Note: You may see this phrase throughout this guide: “a person carrying a handgun
under the authority of Texas Constitutional Carry.” That is shorthand for a qualified non-prohibited
person carrying a handgun (openly in a holster or concealed) in a non-prohibited location after
September 1st, 2021. These components are explained in greater detail on the following pages.
Additionally, license holders have significant advantages over non-license holders, including
being allowed to carry in locations prohibited to non-license holders and additional defenses
to prosecution. This guide focuses primarily on carrying as a non-license holder under the
authority of Texas Constitutional Carry, but we will point out some of the important distinctions
when comparing to carrying pursuant to an LTC.
