Great news

The other two have been going for at least a week, maybe longer.

Wait, so this passed the Senate more than a week ago??

Passed the House, Today it passed the Senate, now it goes back to the House then onto Abbott's desk if everything is good to go.

Wasn't Abbott against it originally?
And a few weeks ago, he proclaimed hurriedly and surprisingly that he will sign the bill.
Did they threaten to break his legs?

Probably for many states.

Multiple threads or not, woot! Glad to see Texas's gun laws slowly shifting to where the anti's think they've always been. It's been a long climb but we're almost there!

Take from this what you will:

EXCLUSIVE: TX Gun Rights Says Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick Added 'Poison Pill' to Constitutional Carry Bill

"It looks like Patrick may have successfully placed a poison pill in an amendment to Constitutional Carry, in hopes it would cause the House to kill the bill by a point of order."

From the story:

On Facebook, Rep. Matt Schaefer wrote, “No celebration yet folks! We are now reviewing amendments that were added by the Senate to look for issues that would break House rules governing the purpose of HB 1927. Our first impression has us very concerned. Will share more as soon as we can. Our goal is to make Texas the 21st Constitutional Carry state.”

I questioned this last night and found the answer after a bit of digging.

If you wish to carry in a reciprocal state, you will still need to keep a current Texas carry license. That's my take on the story I read from a news channel page, but basically the answer to your questions is yes.

Easy way to keep the pressure up:

Texas Gun Rights Action Center

Contact your elected officials to help defeat any gun control that pops up in Austin or Washington, and to continue fighting to RESTORE the Second Amendment!

They keep saying that, but I don't see any amendment that would be a "poison pill". There were eight(8) adopted amendments and those were made by Schwertner, the bill's Senate sponsor.

You can look over all of the adopted amendments here. The added Senate amendments begin at F1 :

I had no clue the Lt Gov could add amendments to a bill.

I agree. I read the article, and also found it on another board (not this one) with comments. Everything I read did not point to any “poison pill” and all of the comments were asking the same thing… what is the article talking about? Form what I have read elsewhere, even with the amendments, both houses are ok with the wording.

i thought this was nothing more than someone trying to stir the pot, so I only posted this hoping someone knew more than me or could explain the hubbub.

The "paid gun advocates " want more money, more clicks, more likes, more shares.

I've let every office holder know that I'm treating them like a waiter in a restaurant.
Bring me what I ordered, I'll pay the bill. Stand and deliver, I'll add a tip.
Act like you're reading my mind? Well, they ain't got that far yet.
