Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Texas Penal Code §§ 30.05, 30.06, and 30.07 to update and standardize the written and posted notice requirements (including bilingual text, letter size, colors, pictograms, and combined signs) that a property owner must use to prohibit entry with firearms, concealed handguns, or openly carried handguns. This change makes it easier for property owners to give effective notice that legally bars licensed carry on private property, thereby restricting the ability to carry firearms in those locations. It does not change state preemption of local rules or create sanctuary measures.
