From a Virginia Citizens Defence League e-alert:
****************************************************
New Texas Citizens Defense League (not related to VCDL) fights
for open carry!
****************************************************
Would you believe that on the same day, within about an hour of each
other, I got TWO emails, each from a different person in Texas, who
wanted to form a VCDL like group to fight for open carry in Texas!
When I am visiting family in San Antonio I hate having to carry fully
concealed during the super hot Texan summers! It's hard to believe
that open carry isn't already the law of the land down there.
I put the two parties in touch with each other and I spent some time
on the phone explaining how VCDL is set up and giving suggestions on
how to proceed with such a fight.
Please note that this group is NOT affiliated in any way with VCDL.
(Just like the Arizona Citizens Defense League - AZCDL, which is
doing a magnificent job and is also modelled somewhat after VCDL.)
If you have friends, family, or coworkers in the Lone Star State,
forward this flyer to them:

Welcome to the Texas Citizens Defense League
Supporters of the Political Initiative for Open Carry of Handguns in Texas
Dear Fellow Texans, Did you know that there are 43 states in the
union that permit Open Carry of firearms? 11 of these states are
known as "Gold Star" states where, with few restrictions, law abiding
citizens may exercise their 2nd Amendment Constitutional Right, and
openly carry on their person and in their vehicle a loaded side arm
for personal protection. 11 other states have Open Carry laws that
allow their citizens to carry their handguns openly with a permit,
and the remaining 21 states allow open carry with various additional
restrictions.
Texas gun laws are clearly behind the times. Many citizens of states
that currently enjoy Open Carry are surprised to learn that the great
Lone Star State does not allow its law-abiding citizens to Open
Carry. Many of your fellow Texans and fellow gun owners feel
strongly that the time is right for us to unite together in support
of a Texas Open Carry Law.
The TCDL is a non-profit, grassroots movement of fellow Texans who
are dedicated to supporting our Constitutional Right to Keep and Bear
Arms. We know that it will be a long, hard process to enact this law
in Texas but we feel our mutual labors will be rewarded in the end.
We are asking for your support in this great effort.
One of our first tasks is to assemble a large data base of
supporters. As the list grows we will begin sub-dividing the state
into local contact zones. Each zone will work to promote this
initiative in its geographical region to more effectively reach out
and communicate the progress and needs of the TCDL. Already hundreds
of Texans have signed on to work together toward this common goal.
But it will take all of us together to successfully push the bill
through the Texas legislature.
This is not about money, but about numbers! There is no charge at
this time for joining TCDL. We will soon have our website posted and
as we progress it may become necessary to charge nominal dues to
cover expenses. All we are asking is for you to say that "yes" you
are willing to help us in this task by responding to our email
address. We will enter your name and email address in a confidential
data base. You will then start receiving educational information and
updates on our progress as well as suggestions on what you can do to
further the cause. The TCDL is a serious group of pro-gun, pro-2nd
Amendment TKBA supporters. Please join us NOW! If you've never
experienced Open Carry - you don't know what you are missing! We can
do this - and you will be able to look back and proudly say you were
an integral part of bringing Open Carry to Texas!

We sincerely thank you for your support.
