I believe the law is any knife with a blade over 3-1/2 inches long is considered an illegal weapon to carry around. It's a gross misdemeanor.

I guess it is fitting enough to just say... Ya don't mess with Texas.

I'd play it safe and avoid it, or just not carry id and use a name of your friend while in Tx.

I believe that is only if it is concealed on you or in your back

Once it's in your back you have a whole new set of problems... =/

misd crimes are only extriditable within the state the crime happened. this is cause u have to have a governor's warrant to haul u across a state line. the law deals with interstate compact on detainers if ur into long, dry reading. many states won't haul u very far on misd's as in the case of texas as it costs too much $. fed crimes, such as getting tickets in the parks/forests are exempted as the feds have a trip called pendant jurisdiction. good hunting!

Illinois sheriff sergeant took possession of my girlfriend's knife (the non-folding one with a 6" blade) when he put us in the back of the patrol car for a ride to the bus stn., where he returned it to her.
I think it could be confiscated as illegal, but her plan is to argue the need for it as a young female hitchhiking (sometimes) alone.
The douchebag state trooper in Nebraska kicked us off the hitchin' spot without any mention of it, though he surely saw it w/ her bag.

So maybe it is legal if unconcealed, if displayed - 'course, displaying a gun isn't legal, can't just walk into a supermarket with a shotgun in your hands.
