Texas has lifted its ban on Bowie knives, effective after Governor Greg Abbott signed HB 1935 into law. This legislation removes Bowie knives, daggers, dirks, stilettos, poniards, swords, and spears from the Texas penal code's list of prohibited weapons, which previously carried fines and jail time. While blades over 5.5 inches remain restricted in certain locations like bars and schools, the overall carrying of these items is now legal in Texas.
