The Texas Switchblade Ban Repeal bill, HB1862, which would repeal the antiquated and irrational ban on switchblade knives in Texas, passed the Texas House by an overwhelming vote of 141-1. HB1862 now moves to the Senate for consideration.
The Calendars Committee must still vote to put HB1299, the Knife Law Preemption Bill, on the House Calender in order for the full House to vote on that bill and unfortunately the deadline for consideration is fast approaching. If HB1299 is not heard by the deadline it will die for this session.
If you have not already done so, it is CRITICAL that you contact each member of the Calendars Committee ASAP and respectfully request that they vote to place HB1299 on the House Calendar. CALL AND Email TODAY! CALLs are especially important. Get your friends and family to call as well. Send a SEPARATE EMAIL to EACH Member by Name: Dear Rep. XXXXX...

When you call and email, keep it polite, short and to the point. Simply ask the Representative to please vote to place HB1299 on the House Calendar as soon as possible. That's it, nothing more needed.
