Texas Knife Laws: a continuation of my knife law series (which I’ve been doing on TikTok). Also, please note I’m not a lawyer and this is not legal advice!
According to Texas law, a location restricted knife (having a blade longer than five and one-half inches) cannot be carried in the following locations:
-Polling Places
-Courthouses
-Airports past Security Screening (all knives are already prohibited by TSA) *this is the same for all knives though
-Racetracks
-Within 1,000 feet of the premises where an Execution is being conducted, if posted
-Establishments (bars/restaurants) that derive 51% or more of their income from alcohol sales and which have a RED 51% sign posted
-Sporting Events (high school, collegiate or professional sporting event or interscholastic sporting event)
-Correctional Facilities
-Hospitals
-Nursing Homes
-Mental Hospitals
-Amusement Parks
-Churches, Synagogues and Established Places of Worship.
