Carrying at a Cougars game

[SMRoot]

I recently went to a University of Houston football game at TDECU stadium. I wasn't carrying because I was uncertain if it was off limits. In all of the commotion, I forgot to even look for 30.06 signs. So, first, do any of you know if it's posted? Second, I went to look at the University of Houston Police Department's FAQ about campus carry and found this:

Can I carry a concealed weapon at sporting events?
No, S.B. 11 and the Texas Penal Code prohibit a license holder from carrying a concealed weapon at any on campus sporting event.
Back to questions

Is this true? My understanding was that the recent change to the law specifically exempted college sporting events from the no-carry laws that are still in effect for professional and High School/Junior High sporting events. My assumption was that they would have to post the stadium as 30.06 if they wanted to exclude concealed carry at the game.

Any help in understanding would be appreciated.

College games must be posted 30.06, high school is still statutorily posted. I have a pretty good feeling it will be posted though.

Penal Code 46.035

(b) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries a handgun under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, regardless of whether the handgun is concealed or carried in a shoulder or belt holster, on or about the license holder's person:
...
(2) on the premises where a high school, collegiate, or professional sporting event or interscholastic event is taking place, unless the license holder is a participant in the event and a handgun is used in the event;
...
(l) Subsection (b)(2) does not apply on the premises where a collegiate sporting event is taking place if the actor was not given effective notice under Section 30.06.

I agree with jb though -- it will more than likely be posted.

Well, I thought so too and so didn't carry. Normally passing by a 30.06 sign will catch my attention and I don't remember seeing one, but I wasn't specifically looking for one either. I did go and look today at their exclusion zones online and TDECU stadium wasn't listed as one. I'll have to check sometime soon. I was hoping that someone else had actually seen one though, so I would know for sure without making the drive to the campus.

Thanks!

Check the back of your ticket stub for a 30.06 notice. That's where UT is putting theirs.

Can you put valid notice on the back of a ticket?

Written notice on a card or document provided to the person....And it doesn't have to be in Spanish too.

"Provided to the person."

So if I go as a guest of a friend, and they hand the tickets for our group to the ticket taker, I don't see how I would have received any notice. Never received the ticket from the seller. Never even handled the ticket, and the seller did not require that I do so.
