Texas Education Code 37.222 Safe Gun Storage
As required by Texas Education Code 37.222, approved during the 88th Texas Legislative Session, the Texas School Safety Center (TxSSC), in collaboration with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), is providing each school district and open-enrollment charter school information and resources regarding the safe storage of firearms including information on section 46.13 of the Texas Penal Code.
In 2021, 4,613 Texans experienced gun-related deaths. Restricting access to guns is critical in reducing acts of violence, whether as self-harm or towards others. Guns should be stored unloaded in a safe or locked container, with ammunition stored elsewhere.
