campus, as well as grounds where a school-sponsored activity is
not taking place, with a concealed or openly holstered handgun.
However, once that constitutional carrier reaches the threshold
of a building, school-sponsored activity, or sporting event of that
college or university, they cannot carry.
LTC holders may also carry a concealed handgun in the parking
lots, parking garages, streets, sidewalks, walkways, and into the
buildings on the campus of a public or private institution of higher
learning (including junior colleges) if the specific building does not

concealed carry of handguns. See Tex. Penal Code § 46.03(a)(1)
(B). Additionally, LTC carriers without effective 30.06 notice
may carry concealed onto the premises, grounds, and buildings
where a sponsored activity is taking place as well as a passenger
transportation vehicle of an institution of higher learning.
Disregarding a 30.06 notice in these locations is punishable as a
Class A misdemeanor. See Tex. Penal Code § 46.03(g-2).
