On September 1, 2021, House Bill 1927 takes into effect, eliminating the requirement for Texas citizens to obtain a state-issued license to carry handguns. Property and business owners must post signs specified by the Texas Penal Code to prohibit the carry of firearms within their premises.
Property owners must post all three signs if they want to prohibit all firearms on their property.
Below are the requirements specified by the Texas Penal Code
Given these requirements set by Texas, compliant signs must be of a significant size to display the necessary text and still remain legible.
We realize that these signs are too big for some storefronts, so SafetySign.com also offers the messages broken down to display on two separate signs. If a property owner were to post two smaller signs, one with 1-inch English text and another with 1-inch Spanish text, then they could comply with the laws and save space. Check out all our available Texas No Gun Signs.
If you are a retailer of alcoholic beverages in Texas, you should consult the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. You may be required to post additional signage such as a handgun warning sign or a “51% sign”. These signs are available through your local Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission office.
There may be additional and/or more accurate information about these signs and their requirements available through government offices, websites, and other resources. The Texas Department of Public Safety posted a summary of the new laws if you would like more information on them and how they could affect your business or property.
