HB 1739 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the notice given by a property owner prohibiting certain persons from carrying certain firearms on the property.

HB 1739 requires property owners to post specific bilingual signs (in English and Spanish) to prohibit firearms on their property. It provides two approved sign formats: one with standardized text about firearm restrictions and another featuring a clear handgun symbol with a red slash. The bill mandates that signs must be visible, use contrasting colors, and meet minimum size requirements. This directly affects property owners seeking to enforce firearm prohibitions and visitors entering such properties, standardizing notice requirements under Texas Penal Code Section 30.05.
