CLEonline.com, together with the Houston Bar Association, are pleased to present a practical online CLE seminar designed to discuss a topic that almost all lawyers encounter from time to time. The 2007 changes to the Unlawfully Carrying a Weapon statute in Texas left officers, prosecutors, defense attorneys and civilians scratching their heads and asking 'what?' This seminar will de-mystify and give an overview of current gun laws in Texas and point out relevant Federal laws. There will also be a discussion of the law on self-defense and the use of deadly force. A discussion on obtaining concealed handgun licenses will also be included.
This seminar features an audio presentation from a live CLE seminar on this topic that was originally conducted by the Houston Bar Association (HBA) on December 12, 2008. This audio presentation features attorney Catherine Evans of the Harris County District Attorney's Office. This is a streaming audio presentation that you can access on demand at any time during the course of the seminar session. The audio presentation runs for approximately 1.25 hours. This seminar is entitled:
