Lawful with conditions · read 2026-09-04
Texas permits most edged steel, but attaches conditions that catch buyers out. Blades over 5.5in are 'location-restricted' — barred from bars, schools and places of worship.
Texas sets no statewide blade-length ceiling on concealed carry. That does not mean any blade may be concealed — intent, pattern and place still govern, and a court will read all three.
Open carry in Texas is capped at 5.5 inches of blade.
Texas does not preempt local ordinance. Cities and counties may — and do — write stricter law than the capital, so the town you are standing in matters as much as the state.

Can this house ship steel to Texas?
Shipping is possession, not carry — most provinces permit ownership of what they forbid on the street. Warborn Blades ships to buyers of age in the United States and Canada, and the counter refuses a barred road before a card is ever touched.
