Depends. Under Texas law you can not carry an illegal knife on or about your person (concealed or in the open does not matter).
An illegal knife is:
(A) knife with a blade over five and one-half inches;
(B) hand instrument designed to cut or stab another by being thrown;
(C) dagger, including but not limited to a dirk, stiletto, and poniard; (double edged)
(D) bowie knife;
(E) sword; or
(F) spear.
