Only one Permit in Texas - Texas allows carry, including open carry, on your own property. You are also allowed to conceal carry a firearm in a car without the need of a permit.
Firearms Permit
•CAN NOT carry in a Courtroom or Law Enforcement Office or detention center.
In Texas you CAN carry in a non-Federal Court, but they do have metal detectors. Most of the lawyers are armed.
•CAN NOT carry in Polling Place or meeting of the Government. - Same
•CAN NOT carry at any School, College or Athletic Event. - Same, but we're working on Campus carry. We are also restricted on large sporting complexes (Stadiums). Also a CHL, can leave a firearm in a car in a school parking lot. Non CHL are prohibited from this.
•CAN NOT carry at establishment or portion of an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises primarily devoted to such purpose . - In Texas, if the establishment sells alcohol, the fine is much higher for people without a CHL. If the places makes 51% of their business by alcohol sales, carry is prohibited. There is no restriction on whether a permit holder drinks, just can't be intoxicated. We're trying to get the law changed to allow carry in a 51% bar if the permit holder is not drinking (Designated Driver can carry...)
•CAN NOT carry inside the passenger terminal of any airport . - No restriction in Texas
•CAN NOT carry in any church or other place of worship. - Same, but the church has to be marked with proper signage
•CAN NOT carry any place prohibited by federal law. - Same
•CAN NOT carry where Private Business displays “NO FIREARMS” signage - Signage is very specific. If the business does not display proper signage, in both english and spanish, it does not count.
•CAN NOT carry in Parades where permits are required. - No restriction
We also cannot carry in a Hospital! Seems stupid.
And no open carry of any kind off your own property, but we're working to change this.
