Oh, they want to do so very bad. they tried so hard to add amendments that would pretty much do this. Things like red flag laws and mental evaluations to be able to carry.
I did have my doubts and thought this bill would die in the Senate, but we pulled it off this time. Way to go Texas, about damn time, woot woot

Yeah, all the amendments passed were acceptable, most were by the bill's author anyways.

I didn't get to listen to the entire amendment debates but I did hear they added an amendment for 30.05 signs for non licensed carrier. Sounds like it'll follow the same guide lines for .07 and .06 signs. That will be used instead of the verbal communication that was in the house bill which they removed. They increased penalties for people caught carrying and they're prohibited possessor. It'll be a 2nd degree felony instead of 3rd degree. I think they added language for anyone that commits a violent misdemeanor or weapons misdemeanor will be prohibited. Not 100% sure on that.
The attempt to add an amendment to be mentally evaluated and have a "card" good for 4 years that shows you're "sane" was a real WTAF moment. That person is a damn communist full stop

Don't think the current, passed amendments are listed yet. Here are the previous list -- https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/Amendments.aspx?LegSess=87R&Bill=HB1927

I just had this playing while I worked. Well, I did live chat just a little. It’s all here.
yes they are. "sqeeky" (past gal from Co IIRC) gal had a question about a LTC concealed carrier entering the Capital vs a non-LTC (as if this bill passed) if they could be questioned as to carrying or not. I hoped he would say 'how do you know someone is carrying concealed IF it is concealed?". He did a great job. Elect more like him.

Yeah, sort of. The bill goes back to the House for the final OK, which is no big deal. Once the House gives it's final approval, it goes to the Governor to sign.
Now, more than ever - we need to be making polite phone calls, encouraging final passage!!

If a bill is returned to the originating chamber with amendments, the originating chamber can either agree to the amendments or request a conference committee to work out differences between the house version and the senate version. If the amendments are agreed to, the bill is put in final form, signed by the presiding officers, and sent to the governor.

My understanding is the house is likely to agree to the amendments so a conference committee is unlikely.
Should be seeing action quickly. The fly in the ointment is the law is most likely going to have an effective date of 1 Sep 2021, so there will still be a wait even if hot wheels signed it tomorrow.

Most likely, the House will agree to the amendments, as they are very acceptable and close to what the House had. If this does go to conference and debated, it may not make it to the Governor's desk in time to be signed.

Thanks. That article only lists 5 amendments one of which I don’t care for.
And the last sentence of the article is a bit concerning.

Rep Schaffer has already agreed to all of the amendments that were offered and approved today. Sen Schwertner had the prep approved prior to submitting them. So the house will approve without a conference. It should go to the House and be voted on Monday or Tuesday. Then it takes about 3-5 days to enroll and transfer to th Govs desk. The gov will get 10 days to sign.
