WHAT SIGNS APPLY TO ME?
Legally Effective Signage for a Person Carrying Under
the Firearm Carry Act of 2021
Tex. Penal Code Sec. 30.05(c) establishes a new option for
a property owner to provide notice to exclude non-license
holders carrying a firearm (including a handgun), in places
governed by the general trespass statute. The sign could
come in many different forms; the only legal requirement
is that it is reasonably likely to come to the attention of the
person entering the building.
These signs are effective against a person carrying under the authority of the Firearm Carry Act and
not license holders.
Legally Effective Signage for License Holders in Texas
Tex. Penal Code Secs. 30.06 and 30.07 establish strict requirements for signs to give legally effective
notice to exclude license holders who are carrying in Texas in places not otherwise governed by
statute. Note: valid warning can be given orally, in writing, or by signage.
