Can any one cite the law in Texas that specifically banned open carry? And when was it?
Yes, I'm familiar with the 'traveling' exemption and the recent definition of it. I have a CHL, but just can't get a straight 'open carry is illegal because Law XYZ says it is.' I know some legislators in the upcoming session may bring bills to make open carry legal again, and wish them good luck and I'll be contacting my reps to push for their support.

Rushcreek has done a good job of explaining it, but let me try explaining it in a slightly different way:Yes, I'm familiar with the 'traveling' exemption and the recent definition of it. I have a CHL, but just can't get a straight 'open carry is illegal because Law XYZ says it is.'
You also have to look at the TABC laws where you can't carry in a convenience store because they sell alcohol for off site consumption (unlicensed possession of a weapon is illegal)
edit: or stores like Wal-Mart, anywhere alcohol is bought
edit edit: well, unlicensed is illegal to carry there that is
