5. The carrying and use of firearms and other weapons provided in this 
subsection when used for the purpose of living history reenactment. For 
purposes of this paragraph, "living history reenactment" means depiction 
of historical characters, scenes, historical life or events for 
entertainment, education, or historical documentation through the 
wearing or use of period, historical, antique or vintage clothing, 
accessories, firearms, weapons, and other implements of the historical 
period.

I'm not sure about Texas law.
