Prefiling opened today for the 2027 Regular Session of the Texas State Legislature. Lawmakers filed about 35 firearm-related bills on the first day, most of which NRA-ILA says would restrict Second Amendment rights. Control of the Texas House and the governor’s office changes in January, and the session begins January 12.

NRA-ILA said members and Second Amendment supporters should stay involved because more firearm bills are expected before the session starts. It pointed readers to nraila.org for further updates on Second Amendment rights and hunting heritage in Texas.
