What it's about
The Supreme Court refused to hear his case (denied review), so it did not decide whether that law or similar state laws are invalid.
The dispute concerned how the Supreme Court’s 2022 Bruen decision applies to Texas’s restriction on most 18-to-20-year-olds carrying handguns outside the home.
