I didn't read the proposed bill for this session carefully (because it's subject to a lot offf negotiation). Does it exclude any type of location in particular?

Re: Are university-affiliated clinics statutorily off-limits
My opinion is that places like UTMB and M.D. Anderson, which are owned by the state and where the staff may be university faculty or students, are off limits.
While concealed means concealed, patients may be expected to take off their clothes or be touched "intimately" by medical personnel.
Affiliated may mean something different, but it is not clearly defined in the statutes.
I don't like this situation any more than anyone else, but as usual I am not a willing candidate for making case law on a felony charge.
These gray areas need to be clarified. Actually, if campus carry is passed as proposed, they will no longer be gray areas or off-limits.
Let's hope the Lege does not come up with another convenient excuse for failing to pass campus carry this year.
