EVERY business should have a good policy manual. All you need to add is a weapons policy that states that all employees and customers who are authorized by the state of Texas to carry weapons may do so in accordance with the law.

I am not sure if you truly are a school or not. One of the on-going debates in this forum has been exactly what is a school under this law. We have discussed things like real estate schools, vocational schools, etc. I don't think anyone considered or remembered that all driving schools must be certified by the TEA. Since several had mentioned TEA or private school certification (sorry I don't remember the office name) before, this could seriously affect how we define schools.

Of course, if HB 3218 passes, this kind of becomes a moot point. So let's all support that.

Yeah as far as we know we are classified as a private school and TEA is our big brother wacthing us. TEA has the right to shut us down if we are not following there procedures. I know that they are some small districts in texas that allow teachers to carry on their campuses, so that's where this question came from, as for a employee manual that is not a bad idea but as of now it is strictly a family business which includes my Father, mother, my wife, brother and myself. I think as soon as we hire any other employees we will consider a handbook.

That looks better. Yeah at the end of the day I might just do that and get a lawyer to check it out. Thanks for the help guys.

I was thinking something like this would be fine then.

"This letter authorizes ____________ CHL permit #__________ to carry a concealed handgun in my place of business/commercial vehicle as long as they maintain a valid TX Concealed handgun License or until otherwise revoked."

Thanks once again.

I guess that's what I was looking for thank you. Has anyone ever seen a example of one of these letters? Thank you Rotten Apple and others for the feed back and response.

As far as I know we are considered a private school. Every licensed instructor must go through the Texas Education Agency and we are part on region 13 under TEA. As for going into other schools that won't happen I'm just more concerned about our building and our instruction car.

So does anyone know who has the final say about carrying a gun in a school public or private in the state of texas. The State, the district Board, the owner of a private school? Does anyone know these answers. The reason I ask is because my family owns a Driving School and when my stepfather and I asked this question during our course no one was able to give us a answer. On one hand it's our business and have the right to defend it and on the other it's a school so how does it work. All comments and info welcomed.
