Relating to the notice given by a property owner prohibiting certain persons from carrying certain firearms on the property.
SB 355 amends Texas Penal Code sections to standardize how property owners can legally prohibit firearms on their premises. It requires property owners to post bilingual (English/Spanish) signs with specific, detailed wording or a standardized pictogram (red circle with diagonal line over a handgun) to prohibit firearms. The signs must be at least one inch in height, use contrasting colors, and be clearly visible at all entrances. This directly affects property owners (like businesses or residences) and individuals carrying firearms, including licensed concealed handgun holders, by clarifying the required notice method under state law. The bill is currently in committee and has not yet become law.
