    From TSRA PAC:

    House Bill 1009 by Rep. Will Metcalf (R-Conroe) clarifies the definition of "school-sponsored activity" in the Texas Penal Code to avoid the establishment of roving gun-free zones in buildings or areas that are not owned by or under the control of a school or postsecondary educational institution.

    House Bill 1143 by Rep. Cole Hefner (R-Mount Pleasant) limits the authority of school districts to regulate the manner in which firearms and ammunition are stored in private motor vehicles parked on school property (including by school employees).

    House Bill 1149 by Rep. James White (R-Woodville) ties eligibility for a License To Carry a handgun to the ability to purchase a firearm.

    House Bill 1177 by Rep. Dade Phelan (R-Beaumont) & Senate Bill 506 by Sen. Brandon Creighton (R-Conroe) protect citizens from being charged with a crime for carrying a handgun while evacuating from an area subject to a mandatory order issued during a declared state or local disaster, or while returning home.

    House Bill 1231 by Rep. Dan Flynn (R-Van) & Senate Bill 535 by Sen. Donna Campbell (R-New Braunfels) repeals the prohibition on carrying in churches or other places of worship.

    Senate Bill 472 by Sen. Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola) protects the rights of tenants to lawfully possess firearms in their residential or commercial rental properties and to transport their guns between their personal vehicles and those locations.

    Be sure to contact your state lawmakers and urge them to oppose the bad bills and support the good ones!

    I thought HB1231 was already a done deal as far as carrying in a church. Am I missing something?

    SB 741 filed: Prohibits HOAs from restricting possession and lawful discharge.

    Section 202.020 to read as follows:
    Sec. 202.020. REGULATION OF FIREARMS OR FIREARM AMMUNITION.
    A property owners' association may not include or enforce a provision in a dedicatory instrument that prohibits, restricts, or has the effect of prohibiting or restricting any person who is otherwise authorized from lawfully possessing, transporting, or storing a firearm, any part of a firearm, or firearm ammunition, as well as the otherwise lawful discharge of a firearm.

    SB 406, relating to the carrying or storage of a handgun by a school marshal, has been referred to the Education committee.
    https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=86R&Bill=SB406

    This bill does away with the requirement for a school marshal to keep their firearm in a locked and secured safe when they are in direct contact with students.
