Re: UT Campus Carry - Surprise!!

This definitely needs clean-up in the overall CHL law:
"Where Handguns Must Not Be Carried:
Regardless of S.B. 11, Texas law will continue to prohibit license holders from carrying handguns in certain on-campus locations. These include:
The grounds or building on which an activity sponsored by a pre-K through 12 school or educational institution is being conducted. This would include, for example, the Blanton Museum of Art when a public school field trip is being conducted there."

If I'm not associated with the school activity, an area should not be off limits by statute if a group of school kids shows up. If I recall correctly, that was discussed somewhat during either the public testimony or on the floor of the House that a place where a field trip is taking place doesn't become off limits for a CHL holder when the school group shows up.

With respect to general prohibition in the dorms, how can they prohibit in certain rooms, except for parents? Either you have been notified by 30.06 (orally, in writing containing the statutory language, or via a sign containing the statutory language) and cannot remain or you haven't been effectively notified.

As far as I'm aware, the 30.06 notification does not allow exclusions for certain individuals with the exception of law enforcement, so how would a parent be legally able to walk past the 30.06 sign/language? Do they control access to the dorms such that nobody, except authorized guests can be admitted? I applaud their attempt at recognizing the rights of parents, however, I don't see how it works out in practice.
