The latest version of the Texds Concealed Carry law reads "discernible through ordinary observation." "Printing" is not necessarily a violation as it has been determined in the courts. The words "ordinary observation" means anyone who is specifically trained to discern a concealed weapon (a law enforcement officer) is not exercising "ordinary observation". A cop cannot legally harass a person for carrying concealed but each case must stand on its own merits as to "ordinary observation".

This standard is still to weak, and gives too much discretion to the officer. If you have jumped through the annoying hoops to get a permit, it should mean you can carry period. Open, concealed, on your head, whatever. Officer discretion is dangerous for those of use who value our liberty.

I completely agree. I worry constantly that my shirt/jacket will blow open in the wind and accidentally expose my gun. I don't concern myself unduly with "printing" since the bill was slightly amended 4 years ago to include that language but open carry will be the fix for that problem.
