We are bicameral... The Texas Legislature meets in regular session on the second Tuesday in January of each odd-numbered year. The Texas State Constitution limits the regular session to 140 calendar days. The Governor can extend that regular session into a special session. Representatives serve a 2-year term, Senators a 4-year term with no term limits for either.
Open carry was seen as "brandishing a weapon" and therefore made illegal. It is legal to carry in your vehicle as long as it is concealed and disclosed to law enforcement. It is also legal to carry without conceal carry permit if you are transporting cash in the name of your business.
