Texas Gov. Greg Abbott quietly signed HB 1927 on Wednesday, which allows all eligible Texan gunowners to carry handguns without a firearms license beginning Sept. 1.

Abbott’s signature comes nearly three weeks after the Texas legislature passed the permitless “Constitutional carry” bill May 27. The state House approved the final measure in an 82-62 vote, and the Senate approved it the same day with a 17-13 vote. The bill was sent to Abbott’s desk the next day.

The law will enable eligible Texas residents – who are over age 21 and not overwise prohibited by state or federal law from possessing a gun – to carry a firearm, either openly or concealed, without needing a permit or training.
