Be there a couple days. My CCW is honored in TX, but any local ordinances I should be concerned with? TIA
 
Knives with knuckles (see above) and tomahawks (see – Sec. 46.01 (1)) are not legal to carry in Texas. Anyone under the age of 18 (or over), can carry a knife less than 5.5 inches in length nearly anywhere. If you’re under 18, you can only carry a knife with a blade over 5.5 inches under certain conditions like for example, you’re accompanied by an adult or you’re at home or on your way home. However, any adult can carry any knife over 5.5 inches anywhere other than certain restricted locations (see below). There are some restrictions on locations (hence the term “location-restricted knives”).

That brass knuckle thing is a pain in the ass.

They changed blade laws recently. 5.5in not the rule anymore.



Eta - damnit, i didn't read the whole post.
 
Inside the Loop--Don't drop the soap or pick up pennies in the street!
Between the loop and beltway 8-- Lock your doors to your car (in most places south and east, do it while you are in it)
Outside of the beltway-- Mostly suburban, 100% that you will encounter a beggar at every single convenience store.

So, primary, back-up and a back-up to the back-up?

Thanks for all the tips.
 
Lived there many years and am fixing to move back in a few weeks. It’s a snake pit and full of assholes and thieves. Hide and lock up everything.

You can carry a knife where you can’t carry a pistol. We allegedly must honor the signs when they are regulation. But, if it’s not at the door you enter through, you’re good. In court at least.
Like Marinevet said, you won’t realize that most disregaurd it untill it gets loud.

Out of sight out of mind if you're going to be using any vehicle. Lots of break-ins and the crooks know what typical rental cars look like. You've been warned.
Killen's BBQ in Pearland is phenomenal and always busy. If you want to browse a large collection of guns, check out Collector's Firearms. We also have a metric fuck ton of restaurants in all flavors. You will gain weight here. We also have a bunch of titty bars, jack shacks, and "massage" parlors. Pick your poison..
If you want a prostitute, Bissonnet St near Highway 59 is the place to go. Can't guarantee the quality of girls. But I guess a mouth is a mouth.

Dude, don't be giving out too much advice, now. People might want to move here which could impact my ability to travel at high speeds.
