Texas banks are deciding how to handle the open carry law that takes effect January 1. In 2016, it will be legal for people to openly carry guns into banks, but the bank owners and branch managers get the last word.
"Most people aren't prepared to see a person carry a gun into a bank lobby," explains Celeste Embrey, assistant general counsel at the Texas Bankers Association.

| Actually, there are very few banks in Texas that allow concealed carry. All the banks in Bryan except one or two prohibit concealed carry. So why would one expect them to allow open carry? |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
