Summary

The law adds a new rule that any valid handgun carry license issued by another state is recognized in Texas. The governor must either negotiate a reciprocal agreement with that state or issue a proclamation confirming recognition if the Texas attorney general verifies that each applicant undergoes a background check. The Texas Department of Public Safety must keep an online list of states that recognize Texas licenses.
