Re: Apartment Lease Contract Handgun Addendum

This is the addendum the office used. They check marked Option 1 and Option 2 on the addendum. What do y'all think?

This is not true. If it is on a posted sign, it must be in both languages, but a written communication handed to you (as this one was) does not stipulate the Spanish requirement.thenick_ttu wrote: ↑Fri Sep 14, 2018 2:11 pmAdditionally, it must be in both English and Spanish.Soccerdad1995 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 14, 2018 1:55 pm Since it was written notice, the wording needed to match the wording in 30.06 and 30.07 exactly, I believe.
Looks valid to me. Carry only to and from your apartment and vehicle, it seems.proudpirate wrote: ↑Fri Sep 14, 2018 7:30 pm This is the addendum the office used. They check marked Option 1 and Option 2 on the addendum. What do y'all think?
yeah... but who's to say when you are or arent going to and from your car, eh? lol. i'd be looking for a new apartment complex. or maybe a rent house... i hate apartments... the first and hopefully last time i lived in an apartment, our downstairs neighbors smoked pot and used the batherooms ventilation to get rid of the smell but all it did was push it up into our apartment. called the cops on em once becuase the smell was so strong. walked into the apartment one night after a date with the gf and it just hit us immediately. strong smell of weed. when the cop got there he said he could smell it but couldnt do anything about it without "probable cause" man i was livid... what more probable cause do you need? you can search my apartment and you wont find weed which means the only other logical explination is that they have it downstairs since ya know... heat rises... honestly i think the officer just didn't care... he said he didnt smell it when he sniffed their windows and front door. and i tried to explain that the bathrooms are in the middle of the apartment and if they keep it contained to that one room he wasnt going to smell it... sorry kind of went on a rant... but yeah I'd find a new place to live honestly... I wouldn't renew and start looking for a place.Vol Texan wrote: ↑Fri Sep 14, 2018 11:25 pmLooks valid to me.

I like this but there's the risk they notice. Although you wouldn't be any worse off than overtly refusing to sign.
Only for the signs. Written notice only has to be in English.thenick_ttu wrote: ↑Fri Sep 14, 2018 2:11 pmAdditionally, it must be in both English and Spanish.Soccerdad1995 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 14, 2018 1:55 pm Since it was written notice, the wording needed to match the wording in 30.06 and 30.07 exactly, I believe.
SECTION 8. Section 30.06, Penal Code, is amended by adding
Subsection (f) to read as follows:
(f) It is a defense to prosecution under this section that
the license holder is volunteer emergency services personnel, as
defined by Section 46.01.
SECTION 9. Section 30.07, Penal Code, is amended by adding
Subsection (g) to read as follows:
(g) It is a defense to prosecution under this section that

Not really. While it's unlikely you'll be challenged if concealed, the less you push it, the less likely a challenge is. And say rambunctious kids running around bump into you and discover your gun. The more reasonable you are in interpreting the from-vehicle-to-apartment-and -back limitation, the more likely you succeed in relying on it.
Our business has been covered by general liability insurance since we opened our doors in 1994 (so, for the complete duration of Texas' CHL/LTC laws), under successive policies as we shopped around for better coverage/rates. No policy has ever had any reference to allowing or forbidding the carrying of handguns, whether by employees or customers. Also, we've always rented commercial property and no landlord (including, interestingly, the University of Texas System Board of Regents) has placed any such restriction in the lease agreement. I don't know about anyone else, but in my experience it's never been a consideration.
My experience is the same but this seems to be a "handy" excuse that is used.E10 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 17, 2018 10:18 amOur business has been covered by general liability insurance since we opened our doors in 1994 (so, for the complete duration of Texas' CHL/LTC laws), under successive policies as we shopped around for better coverage/rates.

with the advice, but I think we should also point out that you do not need to join any group to meet the definition of a VESP.RoyGBiv wrote: ↑Mon Sep 17, 2018 7:41 am Join a local group and become "Volunteer emergency services personnel".

IANAL, but I see what appears to be valid 30.06 and 30.07 wording included along with other wording that amends the required 30.06 / 30.07 wording. If you take only part of each clause and ignore the other part, then it would be valid, but can you just ignore the other part of these written statements? Especially since those other, non-compliant words change the meaning of the required wording?proudpirate wrote: ↑Fri Sep 14, 2018 7:30 pm This is the addendum the office used.
