Texas Gun Laws

I may not be reading it clearly. but 46.15 confuses me. It says that 46.02 does not apply if (8) does that exclude 46.02 (1)?

It means you're exempt under TWO statutes.

Your question is not clear.

There is no 46.02 (1).

What 46.15 (b) (8) means is; if you meet the requirements of 46.15(b)(8), then 46.02 does not apply to you. It means you can carry a handgun, illegal knife or a club while you meet 46.15(b)(8).

What two statutes?

[black2002la]

Sorry, I was reading it as one negated the other. Thank you for the clarification!

Don't mind me, we both got confused at your post with the laws in it.

Unless it has been changed and I never heard about it, for Contract Law in Texas, a minor is under 21 years of age.

Anyone who enters into a contractual arrangement with an 18, 19, or 20 year old, is entering into an agreement with a minor, and a minor can not be held to a contract agreement, but a minor can hold the adult to the terms of the contract. The contract is non-binding to the minor, but is binding to the adult.

Way back when I went to High School in Pasadena, Texas, they taught this stuff, I just happen to remember things like this.

That is from 1889. For at least 30 years the age of majority in Texas has been 18. AN 18 year old can enter into a binding contract.

From the CURRENT law;

Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code
Sec. 129.001. AGE OF MAJORITY. The age of majority in this state is 18 years.


Acts 1985, 69th Leg., ch. 959, Sec. 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1985.




Sec. 129.002. RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES, OR OBLIGATIONS. A law, rule, or ordinance enacted or adopted before August 27, 1973, that extends a right, privilege, or obligation to an individual on the basis of a minimum age of 19, 20, or 21 years shall be interpreted as prescribing a minimum age of 18 years.

http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.u...htm/CP.129.htm


After reaching the age of majority, a person is permitted to vote, make a valid will, enter into binding contract, etc.

18 year olds can rent apartments, enter into deeds, and enter into other contracts.

We live under current law, not 19th century law.
