The vehicle was pulled over in the 13500 block of Kuykendahl Road, where Deputy LaGoy made the stop, and the suspect was taken into custody without incident.

State law on unlawful carrying of a weapon falls under Texas Penal Code Section 46.02, which spells out when carrying a handgun can lead to criminal charges and lists the factors that can bump the offense to a higher level. Penalties can shift based on age, criminal history, location, and whether other alleged crimes are involved, and the full breakdown is contained in the statute itself. Texas Penal Code §46.02
