1. Efforts to pass OC legislation have withered on the vine during the last 2 legislative sessions. Without launching into an extended political rant, Texas' very short biennial legislative sessions and the intensely top-down committee review processes in both legislative houses make it very hard to pass anything even remotely controversial unless (a) it's an absolute crisis and/or (b) at least one powerful committee member is backing the effort; both are often required!
2. Texas's laws regarding unintentional CCW exposure are less stringent than many people seem to think; see the following TFL thread: http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=488997
