In 2023, House Bill 3 Section 19 (88th Texas Legislature) added Section 37.222 to the Texas Education Code, which requires the Texas School Safety Center, in collaboration with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), to provide school districts with information and other resources regarding the safe storage of firearms, including information on section 46.13 of the Texas Penal Code.

The Texas DPS has created a public relations campaign – Keep ’Em Safe Texas – that offers free resources to promote safe gun storage.
