Are Brass Knuckles Legal in Texas
Share
Texas once banned brass knuckles — but that changed in 2019. Under House Bill 446, brass knuckles are now legal to own and carry in Texas.
This law removed them from the list of prohibited weapons, recognizing that many residents wanted self-defense tools that don’t involve firearms.
However, using brass knuckles to threaten, injure, or intimidate someone can still lead to assault or weapons charges.
In short: it’s legal to own, sell, and carry brass knuckles in Texas, but use them responsibly and only for lawful self-defense situations.
