Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands the ability of Texas handgun license holders to carry by repealing or exempting most Penal Code §46.03 location restrictions that previously applied to them, striking references to postsecondary institutions from school bans, repealing §411.204 (which permitted prohibiting carry), and adding a broad exemption for licensed concealed or holstered carry at the listed locations. No provisions restrict carry or add new prohibitions.
