Texas WR Moore faces misdemeanor gun charges

Texas receiver Joshua Moore faces misdemeanor gun charges after police arrested him carrying a loaded pistol in downtown Austin in early July.

Moore, a sophomore from Yoakum, Texas, did not have a license to carry the gun and was released on a $6,000 bond. He has a court date scheduled for Thursday.

Moore has practiced with the Longhorns during preseason camp.

"We're aware of the situation with Joshua Moore," Texas coach Tom Herman said in a statement. "We have talked with him and his family and are handling this internally at this time, but will continue to monitor the legal process.
