Keep Em Safe Texas" /Safe Firearms Storage Campaign

 

As required by Texas Education Code Section 37.222 (House Bill 3, Section 19), the Texas School Safety Center, in collaboration with the Texas Department of Public Safety, is providing each school district and open-enrollment charter school information and other resources regarding the safe storage of firearms, including  information on section 46.13 of the Texas Penal Code. Districts must provide this information to the parent or guardian of each student enrolled in the district or school. The TxSSC recommends districts provide this information at least twice annually - at the beginning and end of the school year.
