Texas Penal Code 30.06 / Texas Penal Code 30.07 | Fair & Fair PLLC | Katy Texas Attorneys
Texas Penal Code § 30.07, which took effect January 1, 2016, applies the same rules governing the concealed carrying of a handgun under the revised § 30.06 to the open carrying of a handgun. Just as with § 30.06, a violation of § 30.07 (Trespass by License Holder With an Openly Carried Handgun) is a Class C Misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $200, unless it is shown at trial that, after entering the property, the license holder was personally given verbal notice that openly carrying a handgun was prohibited and subsequently failed to depart. Under these circumstances, an offense under § 30.07 is also a Class A Misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of one year imprisonment and a $4,000.00 fine.
Just as a properly posted sign pursuant to § 30.06 prohibits the carrying of a concealed handgun, a properly posted sign pursuant to § 30.07 prohibits the open carrying of a handgun. Requiring separate signs relating to the concealed and open carrying of handguns gives property owners the latitude to prohibit only concealed or open carrying of handguns, as desired.
