That's university policy specific. UTA appears to allow them in dorms now but University owned apartments and independent apartments may have lessee agreements. https://www.uta.edu/policy/hop/12-500?hl=handgunCjwglock19 wrote:So what does a dorm resident do for storage??
From article on Fox News website
For example, at the University of Texas at Austin, teachers will be allowed to declare their offices as gun-free zones, but most will post signs announcing it. Dorm residents can have guns in common areas, such as dining areas and lounges, but not sleeping rooms, where no storage of weapons is allowed. Exceptions to the room restrictions will be made for visiting family members who are licensed to carry handguns.
UTA isn't providing lockers of any kind of check-in system. So for UTA it's basically it's all or nothing and your responsibility.
