This week, Governor Rick Perry (R) signed into law House Bill 991, NRA-backed Concealed Handgun License confidentiality legislation sponsored by State Representative Patrick Rose (D-Dripping Springs) and State Senator Bob Deuell (R-Greenville).
This bill will keep records of CHLs private for personal security reasons is the culmination of an effort that spanned three legislative sessions. The media aggressively opposed the measure, and the enactment of HB 991 is a key victory for law-abiding Texas CHLs.
Thank you for all your calls and emails in support HB 991, which ensured strong, bi-partisan support of the measure in both the House and the Senate.
