Under Texas law you can not carry on or about your person a handgun. You can carry a rifle or shotgun. So the question is can you carry a blank firing handgun?

Texas does allow you to carry on or about your person a handgun in your vehicle without a license if:

1 it is concealed

2 it is your vehicle or a vehicle under your control

3 not committing any crime other than class c traffic

4 legally able to possess the handgun

5 not a member of a street gang

So would a blank firing handgun be considered a handgun?

"Handgun" means any firearm that is designed, made, or adapted to be fired with one hand.

"Firearm" means any device designed, made, or adapted to expel a projectile through a barrel by using the energy generated by an explosion or burning substance or any device readily convertible to that use.

So as long as it can not fire a bullet or be " readily convertible to that use".
