Armed Attorneys Richard Hayes and Leslie Cross discuss New Carry Decision and what it means for gun owners across Texas.
A federal judge just upheld major Texas carry restrictions—and this one is going to surprise a lot of people.
We break down Judge Mark T. Pittman’s ruling in Ziegenfuss v. Martin and what it means moving forward, especially with an appeal already filed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
What Changed?
* Can Texas still ban carry in certain “sensitive places”?
* What does this mean for bars, sporting events, and racetracks?
* Did the court just expand what counts as a “sensitive place”?
Key Takeaways
* The court UPHELD Texas Penal Code § 46.03
* Applies the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen framework
* Confirms historical support for restrictions in:
* Bars (51% alcohol establishments)
* Sporting events
* Racetracks
Why This Matters
This is a pro-2A judge still upholding restrictions — which signals:
* Courts are not eliminating all gun-free zones
* “Sensitive places” are still very much alive
* The fight is shifting to how far those limits go
What Happens Next?
* Appeal already filed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
* Potential for a major Second Amendment precedent depending on outcome
