On September 1st 2021, Texans will be allowed to carry handguns without a permit, either concealed or in plain view. Texas House Bill 1927, which passed in early June and was signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott a week later, abolished the requirement that residents of the Lone Star State obtain a license to carry a handgun.

In short, anyone not explicitly prohibited from carrying a gun no longer has to undergo the mandatory safety training and background check to carry a handgun.

Any Texas resident can purchase a handgun from a private seller and carry it on their person without legal recourse.

At MCA, our principal concern is the safety of Texas residents.
