House Bill 1927 (2021) lets most Texans 21 and older carry a handgun concealed without a permit anywhere in Dallas County. The optional License to Carry through Texas DPS still provides reciprocity, sensitive-place benefits, and federal background-check shortcuts.
HB 1927, codified in Texas Penal Code chapter 46 and Government Code chapter 411, established constitutional carry across Texas including Dallas County. Adults 21 or older not federally barred from possessing firearms may carry a handgun concealed or openly without a permit in cities, unincorporated areas, and county-owned public spaces, subject to state sensitive-place rules. Schools, courts, polling places, secure airport zones, hospitals, jails, and 51-percent alcohol establishments remain off-limits under Penal Code 46.03 and 46.035. The Dallas County Sheriff and constables enforce state carry rules. Texans can still apply for a License to Carry through DPS; DCSO provides fingerprinting. The county cannot add concealed-carry restrictions.
Carrying in a sensitive place under Penal Code 46.03 or 46.035 is generally a Class A misdemeanor or third-degree felony, with fines up to ten thousand dollars and possible prison time, plus License to Carry revocation by Texas DPS.
