Section 46.041 of the Texas Penal Code addresses the wearing of body armor (and metal armor).
The section was passed in 2001 and it prohibits a person convicted of a felony from "possessing" either metal armor or body armor. Such armor is defined as any body covering designed, made or adapted for the purpose of protecting a person against gunfire.
The section does not prohibit non-felons from wearing body armor.
