Bay Area Unitarian Universalist Church, et al. v. Paxton, et al.
Key Points
-
If a Texas property owner chooses to keep firearms off their property, they must put up at least three different signs to do so -- one for concealed carry of handguns; one for open carry of handguns; and another for long guns -- measuring multiple square feet.
-
By contrast, many states require a single sticker or sign with a simple picture that measures just a few inches in each direction
-
Texas’ signage law includes several arbitrary requirements, -- such as letter-size -- that also make it difficult, if not impossible, to print the signs at home. And unlike other state-mandated signs, the signs under the laws being challenged are not provided for free by any state agency.
