Texas Governor Rick Perry on Friday signed the Texas Switchblade Ban Repeal bill, HB1862, the culmination of an aggressive lobbying effort by Knife Rights. The effective date for this law is September 1, 2013. Please note that existing local restrictions, such as in San Antonio, remain in effect!

HB1862 is the FIFTH Pro-Knife Bill Knife Rights passed this year!
HB1862 is the FOURTH Switchblade Ban Repeal Knife Rights passed this year!​

Knife Rights would like to thank Representative Harold Dutton and Senator Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa for sponsoring this bill. We would also like to thank Knife Rights volunteer W. Scott Lewis for his tenacious assistance on the ground in Austin.

Thanks also to all of you who called and emailed your legislators in Austin when we asked for support. Those calls and emails make a big difference when we are on the ground lobbying in the Capitol.

Knife Rights will be back in 2015 to fix the rest of Texas knife laws.

Has Texas repealed the ban on bowie knives yet ? That one jsut baffles me, given their history you'd think every man, woman and child in the state would be required to carry one.
