The bill would repeal Section 411.205, Government Code, which requires that concealed handgun owners present their driver's license or identification certificate and the license holder's handgun license upon request from a magistrate or peace officer. The Department of Public Safety indicates that any costs associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within its current resources.
