H*ll of a note that you couldn't carry a BOWIE knife in Texas...
"Good news! Governor Abbott, on 6/15/17, signed into law a bill that the Texas legislature passed back in May, removing the designation of certain knives as “illegal.” This new law, effective September first, will make it legal to carry previously banned knives. Prior to this change, knives over 5.5”, throwing knives, dirks, daggers, poniards, Bowie knives, swords, and spears were illegal to possess in public.
Since 2010 through the efforts of the national advocacy organization Knife Rights, 12 states have passed laws lessening or eliminating knife restrictions. Texas passed statewide “knife law preemption” in 2015, with the result that no city or county may have knife laws that are more restrictive than the state laws. Previously San Antonio and Corpus Christi were among those Texas cities enhancing knife-restrictions. Also in 2013, the Texas prohibition on automatic opening knives was removed. Since that time, automatic opening knives have been legal to carry."
