↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 80%
Expands the acceptable methods for property owners to provide notice prohibiting concealed or openly carried handguns by license holders, including simpler pictogram signs, making it easier to enforce carry bans on private property.
"No concealed handguns permitted on this property"; (ii) appears on a white background with black block letters at least one inch in height; (iii) contains a pictogram that shows, on a white background, a handgun drawn in black ink within a red circle of at least six inches in diameter and a diagonal red line across the handgun;
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Texas Penal Code sections 30.05, 30.06, and 30.07 to expand the forms of valid notice a property owner can use to prohibit firearms (including by licensed carriers), by adding an alternative simpler sign format with a pictogram and 'No firearms' language. This change makes it easier for owners to restrict firearms on their property, which restricts the firearms axis (ability to carry) and specifically affects carry and preemption-sanctuary rules for private property. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
