Locations Where Weapons are Prohibited

The state of Texas is one of the most passionately committed to protecting the right of its residents to own and bear firearms and other weapons. In recognition of the threat that these weapons might pose in specific locations, however, there are laws that prohibit the carrying of weapon on specific premises. Though there may be signs posted or security measures in place to prevent a person from entering one of these spaces, you might not have seen them and may have carried a weapon illegally.

If you have been arrested and are facing prosecution for a weapons-related offense, it is important that you speak with a skilled and experienced attorney about your case. The experience can be overwhelming, and with the stakes of a conviction possibly including incarceration and substantial fines, there is no time to waste.

Where Weapons Are Barred

Some locations where weapons are prohibited include:

• Schools and educational institutions
• Activities or transportation associated with an educational institution
• Polling places on Election Day or during early voting
• Any court-related facilities, including offices
• Racetracks
• Secured airport locations

The imposition of laws regulating the presence of weapons in certain locations is intended to eliminate the threat to those who are perceived to be especially vulnerable, whether through their age, situation, or due to the nature of their career. Accordingly, these laws are taken very seriously and are typically subject to strict enforcement.
