Welcome to Texas Criminal Defense Group Denton!

Gun laws across the U.S. vary significantly, and Texas—especially in cities like Denton—is often viewed as having more relaxed firearm regulations. While Texans do have broad rights to own and carry firearms, there are still strict laws and serious penalties for violations. Understanding when, where, and how you can legally carry a gun in Denton is essential, especially if you’re facing any kind of firearm-related charge.

Common Gun Offenses in Denton

One frequent charge in Denton is Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon (UCW). This typically involves carrying a handgun in a prohibited location or without the proper license. Examples include:

Even with Texas’s support for gun rights, these situations can quickly lead to criminal charges.

Transporting Firearms in Texas

Texas law allows people to carry firearms in their vehicles when traveling. If you’re driving from Denton to another city, such as Austin or Fort Worth, you can legally transport a handgun in your car—assuming you’re not otherwise prohibited from gun ownership.

That said, carrying a gun on your person in public generally requires a valid LTC, unless you’re covered under permitless carry rules, which have their own restrictions.

Gun-Free Zones and Business Restrictions

State law prevents local governments from creating their own gun rules, but private businesses in Denton can ban firearms on their premises. If a business posts a proper 30.06 or 30.07 sign, carrying a gun inside can lead to legal penalties—even if you have a license.

Additionally, places like schools, bars that make over 51% of revenue from alcohol, and government buildings are legally off-limits to firearms.

Penalties for Violating Gun Laws

Gun offenses in Texas range from minor infractions to serious felonies. Penalties can include:

If convicted, you could lose your right to own or purchase a gun, and your LTC may be suspended or permanently revoked—even for certain misdemeanors.
