General Information:

Authorizes volunteer emergency services personnel to carry a handgun while engaged in providing emergency services if that emergency service person is licensed to carry.
Signage:

This bill adds section 552.002 to the Health and Safety Code to allow a state hospital to post a sign, in both English and Spanish, informing license to carry holders that they cannot enter the property with a handgun. A civil penalty may be imposed on a license to carry holder who carries on the property of a state hospital in which written notice is provided.

This is from the Texas DPS website on laws that go into effect on September 1st. It seems like their interpretation is different than mine...

The "while engaged in" language refers to 46.035.
The 30.06 and 30.07 defense to prosecution does not have that requirement.

I'd post the full code references if I wasn't posting from my phone.
