Texas SB1065 mandates contracts with governmental entities to allow handgun-carrying license holders unless prohibited by law, with civil penalties.

Texas SB1065 amends the Texas Government Code to require that contracts for property use by governmental entities include a provision allowing handgun-carrying license holders to enter or remain on the property unless prohibited by law. Contractors violating this provision face civil penalties of up to $10,500 per violation. Residents or license holders can file complaints with the attorney general, who must investigate and notify the contractor of any violations. If legal action is warranted, the attorney general or a county or district attorney can sue to collect penalties.
