Safe Gun Storage

House Bill 3, Section 19 (88th Texas Legislature) adds Section 37.222 to the Texas Education Code, which requires the Texas School Safety Center, in collaboration with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), to provide to 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, for distribution by the district or school.

Please review the attached safe firearm storage resources from the Texas Department of Public Safety. These materials provide information about safe firearm storage options, talking with children and others about firearm safety, and steps families can take to help prevent unauthorized access to firearms.

Additional information and resources are available through the Texas Department of Public Safety's Keep 'Em Safe, Texas! safe gun storage initiative.
