Other objects which may be held in the hand are used to augment
the strength of a punch as an offensive weapon, such as a “fist filler”

II. ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED WEAPONS
A. What is an absolutely prohibited weapon?
Texas Penal Code Section 46.05, entitled “Prohibited Weapons,”
states that it is a crime if a person “intentionally or knowingly
possesses, manufactures, transports, repairs, or sells” certain
prohibited weapons. As opposed to many laws which merely
prohibit the carrying of a weapon in a public place, this section
of the Penal Code prohibits a person from even possessing such a
weapon—including in their home or on any property under their
control or influence.
