Texas HB3428 mandates signs prohibiting handgun carry at hospitals and nursing homes, with penalties for non-compliance.

HB3428 amends Texas law to require hospitals and nursing homes to display signs at each entrance, in English and Spanish, stating it is unlawful for licensed individuals to carry a handgun on the premises. The signs must be in contrasting colors, with block letters at least one inch high. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission will enforce this by imposing a $1,000 penalty for the first violation and revoking the license or permit for subsequent violations. The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
