Texas Penal Code Chapter 46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER. (a) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder carries a handgun on or about the license holder's person under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, and intentionally displays the handgun in plain view of another person in a public place.
Open Carry is intentional failure to conceal.
The "Open Carry" bill would literally strike the following from Texas Penal Code
Sec. 46.02. UNLAWFUL CARRYING WEAPONS.
(a)A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a handgun, illegal knife, or club if the person is not: (1)on the person’s own premises, or premises under the person’s control, or with permission of the premises owner; or (2)inside of or directly en route to a motor vehicle or watercraft that is owned by the person or under the person’s control.
As well as the text in 46.035 (cited above), and several other places in the TPL.
