The Texas Senate passed a bill on Wednesday that would remove the required permit for people to carry handguns in public.
The Texas Senate version, which passed on a party-line vote, differs slightly from similar legislation already passed by the state s House.
Fox News reported that the House would then have to adopt the Senate bill or settle the difference in their versions. After that process, the bill is expected to make its way to Texas Governor Greg Abbot s desk.
Abbott said that people are already allowed to have constitutional carry for long guns in Texas.

The Texas Rangers hosted nearly 40,000 fans at Globe Life Park in Arlington on Monday, making it one of the first full-capacity sporting events in the U.S. since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic more than a year ago.
Monday s 6-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays was the Rangers first home game, which had a sellout crowd of 38,238. The retractable roof was open on a 75-degree day and face coverings were still required for the game, except when fans were actively eating or drinking.
