Texas state rule: Live Oak does not have a local ordinance for concealed carry. This topic is governed by Texas state law and applies uniformly across the state.

Summary

Texas authorizes License to Carry (LTC) holders to carry concealed handguns statewide under Government Code Chapter 411. Since 2021, permitless constitutional carry under HB 1927 also allows most adults 21 and older to carry without a license, with municipalities preempted from added restrictions.

Full Breakdown

Government Code Chapter 411, Subchapter H establishes the Texas License to Carry program administered by DPS. HB 1927 (2021), codified in Penal Code 46.02, created permitless carry for adults 21+ not otherwise prohibited from possessing firearms. Local Government Code 229.001 prevents municipalities from imposing additional concealed carry restrictions, training requirements, or fees. Statutory off-limits locations under Penal Code 46.03 and 46.035 (schools, polling places, courts, secured airport areas, bars where 51% revenue is alcohol) apply uniformly statewide. Property owners retain rights to post 30.06/30.07 signs prohibiting carry on private premises.

Violations & Fines

Carrying in prohibited locations is generally a Class A misdemeanor under Penal Code 46.03; trespass after 30.06/30.07 notice is a Class C escalating to Class A on refusal to leave.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I still need an LTC after constitutional carry?

Not for in-state carry, but an LTC provides reciprocity in other states, faster background checks for purchases, and access to certain locations otherwise restricted to license holders.

Can a Texas city ban concealed carry in a park?

Generally no. Government Code 411.209 prohibits state agencies and political subdivisions from posting signs barring LTC holders except in statutorily off-limits locations.

What is a 30.06 sign?

A statutorily formatted notice under Penal Code 30.06 by which a private property owner prohibits concealed carry by license holders; 30.07 covers open carry similarly.
