Last week, we reported to you that two NRA-backed bills had been filed in the Texas House: House Bill 681 by state Representative Tim Kleinschmidt (R-Lexington), legislation prohibiting employers from enforcing policies against the storage of lawfully-owned firearms in employees' private motor vehicles parked at work, and House Bill 750 by state Representative Joe Driver (R-Garland), a bill to allow Concealed Handgun Licenses to protect themselves on public college and university campuses. Thanks to your phone calls and emails, each bill has picked up more than 30 co-authors so far!
To see if your state Representative has signed onto these bills, visit www.house.state.tx.us/research and insert the bill number. If your House member has signed onto both bills, please be sure to thank him or her for doing so. If not, please contact them next week and urge them to sign on as a co-author to both HB 681 and HB 750. Contact information for House members can be found at www.house.state.tx.us/members.
