Texas Constitutional Carry: Laws, Eligibility, Restrictions, and LTC Requirements

By November 5, 2025 - 7:16am

Texas Constitutional Carry allows eligible adults to carry handguns openly or concealed without a permit, making it one of the more permissive firearm laws in the United States. Introduced in 2021, Texas constitutional carry permits most residents aged 21 and over to carry handguns without a License to Carry (LTC), while active military members can carry at 18. Non-residents must meet reciprocity requirements or apply for a Texas LTC. Despite this freedom, there are strict restrictions in certain locations, including schools, universities, government meetings, places of worship, sporting venues, alcohol-centric businesses, healthcare centers, and correctional facilities. LTC holders and those practicing constitutional carry must also meet eligibility criteria, such as age, residency, clean criminal record, mental health clearance, and firearm handling knowledge. Understanding these laws ensures responsible firearm ownership, compliance with state regulations, and public safety under Texas Constitutional Carry laws.
