Looks Like it's been sent to Homeland Security & Public Safety for review.

Looks like the senate version of the bill has passed committee.
Senate Bill 17
Quote:
(From the NRA Alerts email)
SB 17, sponsored by state Senator Craig Estes (R-Wichita Falls), removes the requirement that CHLs keep their handguns concealed and gives them the option of carrying them either wholly or partially visible in a belt or shoulder holster. SB 17 is identical to SB 346, which had been previously filed by Senator Estes. The language from SB 346 was re-filed and assigned a lower bill number by Lt. Governor Patrick, signifying that this issue is also of high importance in the Texas Senate. Forty-three states allow some form of open carry and Texas CHLs have earned this personal protection option after two decades of demonstrating lawful, responsible behavior.

Why do these bills have to pass muster with "homeland security"?

Dunno why HB195 had to... Especially since SB17 did not.

"Homeland Security and Public Safety" is a committee in the Texas House, not the Federal agency.

I saw an article today that the Texas governor, Greg Abbott, said in his State of the State Address that he would sign the bill into law.

Abbott has made that statement (about any Pro 2A Bills) a few times since election day. The thing is, even with a Republican majority in both houses, getting enough votes to get the Bill(s) to his desk.
This goes for Campus Carry too.
