Attorney General Greg Abbott (R) has negotiated, and Governor Rick Perry (R) has issued, a proclamation that allows persons with valid concealed handgun licenses from Alabama to carry in Texas.
All Alabama license holders will be required to follow Texas laws while in this state, including age restrictions and type of handgun permitted. This proclamation will automatically trigger a reciprocal agreement allowing Texas CHLs to carry in Alabama.
