Texas Law Shield is a firearms legal defense retainer program developed by Walker, Rice & Wisdom, P.C., Attorneys at Law.

They are a law firm that has developed a state wide program with a Multi-State option for all lawful gun owners in the State of Texas.  As soon as you pay the monthly or annual retainer, you become a client of WR&W.

If you are ever forced to use a gun, whether you pull the trigger or not, anywhere in the State of Texas (or in a state covered under the Multi-State Option) to defend yourself, others, or your property, WR&W will defend your freedom for no additional attorney fees.  They will represent you from the moment you call the special attorney-answered 24/7 hotline.  They will defend you through the police investigation, the grand jury proceeding, and through trial (criminal and civil), for no additional fee.

The monthly retainer is only $10.95 per client, with annual programs for CHL holders and non-CHL gun owners available as well.

I encourage every gun owner to give this program some serious thought.

To sign up, click the banner to the right and use promo code “goheeled” for 14 months of coverage at the 12 month rate.

2011 Texas Legislature Regular Session Wrap-Up

Senate Bill 321 - Prohibits employers from enacting and enforcing bans on employees transporting and storing firearms in their locked, private motor vehicles while parked at work.  This measure applies to both public and private employers, as well as all lawfully-owned firearms – not just firearms in the possession of Concealed Handgun Licensees. 

House Bill 25 – Will extend the right to carry a handgun on a  boat or personal watercraft without needing a Concealed Handgun License, much like in a vehicle.  Handguns must be hidden from plain view and the person in possession must not be engaged in criminal activity, be a member of a criminal street gang, and must be eligible to possess the firearm under state or federal law.

House Bill 2560 – Prevents the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services from adopting or enforcing rules restricting a foster parent’s ability to transport a foster child in a private motor vehicle if a handgun is present, as long as the foster parent is a Concealed Handgun Licensee.

These bills are now headed to Governor Perry’s desk for his signature.  If signed into law, they will take effect on September 1, 2011.

Bills pertaining to Open Carry and Concealed Carry on College Campuses did not pass through legislation.
