Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a provision extending the expiration date of a Texas handgun carry license for up to 90 days upon timely submission of renewal materials and deems the holder to have an unexpired license during that period when carrying the receipt and old license. This reduces a potential gap in legal carry authorization during renewal processing, expanding the ability to carry under state law. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
