Texas bill does not end concealed carry waiting period

Question asked:

“A new Texas bill eliminates the waiting period for concealed carry permits in all 50 states.”
False
Confidence: High Checked on September 23, 2026

No recent legislation from Texas has been reported that removes waiting periods for concealed‑carry permits nationwide. The discussed proposals focus on reciprocity, not eliminating waiting periods, and there is no evidence of a bill achieving the claimed effect in all 50 states.
