Lawmakers also approved letting schools select employees to carry concealed weapons on campus, and easing the standards for concealed carry permits. The bulk of the bills were targeted at easing restrictions on concealed carry weapons, such as making permit fees cheaper, preventing agencies from asking for detailed information on permit renewals, and restricting fingerprint registries for gun owners.

The package of bills also includes a measure that declares all federal gun laws null and void in Texas, which is flatly unconstitutional.

While other responsible states are tightening up their gun laws because the federal government can't do it, here goes Texas in the opposite direction.
