First...I figure that by the time this hits the list the question will be
answered several times.
Second...There is no "license". Under the Texas Penal Code a "sword" is
illegal to carry in this state. As well, if it has a "double edge" as in
"dagger" it is also illegal.
Third....Tell the officers, if you are found to be carrying the "sword", that
it is a theater prop... Used in historically accurate plays...
Fourth...If that does not work.... Have bond money...and a lawyer.
Fifth....I've carried swords and axes and maces and spears and daggers etc. for
14 years now with no trouble. Keep them wrapped and out of sight. In a box is
good. In duffle bags... And well out of the reach of the driver. Good luck.
