Where You Cannot Carry in Texas (2026) is one of the most important topics for anyone who carries a handgun, with or without an LTC.
Understanding prohibited locations prevents accidental violations and protects both legal standing and personal safety.
Carry Prohibited Locations in Texas
Even with an LTC, Texas law restricts carry in certain places, including:
- Schools and school-sponsored events
- Courthouses and court offices
- Polling places during voting
- Bars deriving most income from alcohol
- Secure areas of airports
These restrictions apply statewide, including San Antonio and surrounding communities.
Private Property and Posted Signage
Private property owners may prohibit carry using proper signage:
- 30.06 signs prohibit concealed carry
- 30.07 signs prohibit open carry
Signs must meet specific legal formatting requirements to be enforceable.
Why This Matters in San Antonio
San Antonio has a high concentration of:
- Posted businesses
- Event venues
- Government buildings
Carriers must remain observant and informed to avoid unintentional violations.
Carrying Without Knowing the Rules Is a Risk
Many legal issues arise not from intent, but from misunderstanding location-based restrictions.
Training emphasizes awareness, not confrontation.
