College Open Carry Law

Monday, colleges, and universities face campus carry law that goes into effect. At this time it does not apply to a two-year college. Gov. Greg Abbott signed campus carry into effect June a year ago. The law goes into effect Monday, Aug. 1 at four-year colleges and universities. Private schools are allowed to opt out of the law. It does not apply to Northeast Texas Community College or Paris Junior College until the first of August in 2017.
