That only applies to a public university: 46.035(a-3), where it would be Class A anywhere on a private university: 46.035(a-2) .ScottDLS wrote:You post "conspicuously" all the parts of a property that you wish to make off limits.

Re: law regarding vehicle carry on a private opt out college
Being a grad student, I'm not obligated to show up to any "meetings" like the undergrads are. I wonder if they actually gave those present kind of verbal notice... oh wellsScottDLS wrote:At least presumably those students/staff that were presentnightmare69 wrote:ScottDLS wrote:Nothing will "legally" prevent a student or faculty member from carrying either in the absence of 30.06 compliant notice...However the probability of expulsion or termination of employment certainly exists, with the exception of firearms in vehicles in the parking areas and streets.
Our staff and students were told "no firearms allowed on university property" during the start of the year meeting in August. They all received legal verbal notice that day.
ETA: The verbal (oral) notice was 30.06 compliant, as i stated in my hypothetical...for those that were present to hear it.
On a side note, my university has language that states something along the lines of: University policy prohibits the possession of firearms... on the premises or any property controlled by the university... regardless if an individual has a CHL. Once you start walking around, you will notice gunbuster signs are posted on each building.

Re: law regarding vehicle carry on a private opt out college
Universities can't prohibit a CHL holder from storing their firearm in their vehicle, regardless if they are a public or private university:cclacy wrote:Am I correct that a visitor with an LTC (not employee or student) to a private university in Texas (such as Rice) that has opted out of campus carry may keep his or her handgun in his or her privately owned vehicle on campus roads, parking lots, or parking garages as long as it is locked inside of said vehicle?

(2) "Institution of higher education" and "private or independent institution of higher education" have the meanings assigned by Section 61.003, Education Code.
(b) An institution of higher education or private or independent institution of higher education in this state may not adopt or enforce any rule, regulation, or other provision or take any other action, including posting notice under Section 30.06 or 30.07, Penal Code, prohibiting or placing restrictions on the storage or transportation of a firearm or ammunition in a locked, privately owned or leased motor vehicle by a person, including a student enrolled at that institution, who holds a license to carry a handgun under this subchapter and lawfully possesses the firearm or ammunition:
