Texas is set to pass Senate Bill 706, effective September 1st, 2025, which will broaden the state's recognition of handgun licenses issued by other states. This legislation, authored by Senator Charles Schwartner, amends the Texas Government Code to recognize any valid handgun license from another state, eliminating previous requirements for background check review by the Texas Attorney General. This move is seen as a significant step towards national reciprocity for lawful firearm carriers.
