Is it legal to conceal carry a knife over 5.5 inches now in Texas with the recent law changes? I looked over the penal code and it says nothing about concealed carry that I could find.
Concealed knife question?

Really? And how do you know that? Have you personally reviewed any statutes and related case law which might bear on the question? Have you reviewed local ordinances that might be relevant?
Yes I have. Texas knife laws are now very liberal.

There are a few places you could not carry the knife the OP asked about.

All thanks to years of work in TX by Knife Rights. Knife Rights worked diligently to make TX as free as TN, AZ and NH for knife owners. While AZ and NH went with one pass and TN took two years, Texas took year after year to chip away at the restrictions on law abiding citizens.
2019- Texas Bans on carry of Clubs (including Tomahawks) and possession and carry of Knuckles (including Trench Knives and the like) Repealed.
2017 - Texas Ban on “Illegal Knives” including Bowie Knives, Daggers, Dirks, Stilettos, Poniards, Swords, Spears and Blades over 5.5 inches Repealed
2015 - Texas Knife Law Preemption Enacted repealing dozens of local knife restrictions including #4 and #9 Worst Anti-Knife Cities in the U.S. and preventing any future local restrictions
2013 - Texas Switchblade Ban Repealed
