This bill amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code by adding a new section, 95A.0002, which addresses the civil liability of businesses that prohibit concealed handguns on their premises. Specifically, it defines a "license holder" as an individual licensed to carry a handgun under the relevant government code. The bill stipulates that if a person in control of a business premises posts a sign prohibiting entry to license holders with concealed handguns, they may be held liable for damages resulting from any criminal acts that occur on those premises.

The provisions of this bill will only apply to causes of action that arise on or after its effective date, which is set for September 1, 2025. This means that any incidents leading to liability claims that occur before this date will not be affected by the new legal language introduced in this bill.
