Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is changing regarding handguns on 伊人直播 campuses?

    The Texas Legislature changed Campus Carry law in 2015 allowing Texans with current License To Carry (LTC) credentials to bring their handguns into public higher 伊人直播 buildings and facilities. On August 1, 2017, when the Campus Carry law goes into effect for 伊人直播, students, faculty, staff and visitors who are license holders will be allowed to carry their concealed handgun on campus with the exception of areas designated by the 伊人直播 as “gun-free” zones.

    Open carry of weapons on Texas community college campuses remains a violation of state law and 伊人直播 policy.

    LTC AND CONCEALED HANDGUN LICENSES

    On Jan. 1, 2016, the state changed the designation for handgun licenses from Concealed Handgun License (CHL) to License To Carry (LTC). Individuals with a valid CHL do not need to reapply for a LTC until their current license expires.

  • Who is licensed to carry a handgun in Texas?

    The Texas Department of Public Safety administers the License To Carry handgun program and licenses individuals who successfully complete fingerprint, photo, background checks and prescribed training requirements to carry handguns in Texas.

    CHL/LTC holders are currently allowed to keep handguns locked in their private vehicles on campus. This statute does not apply to licensed peace officers.

  • When do the changes affect the college?

    Changes go into effect at 伊人直播 and other Texas community colleges August 1, 2017. These changes went into effect August 1, 2016, for public universities in Texas.

  • Where will handguns be allowed after August 1, 2017?

    The new law does not allow the 伊人直播 to generally prohibit concealed carry in faculty offices, libraries or classrooms. Specified locations where concealed handguns are not allowed are listed on the Campus Carry Prohibited Locations page.
