A green sign report should never hide a place-based warning.

A hospital may have no 30.xx signs and still display a §46.03 notice. A federal building may have a site-specific restriction that signs alone do not explain. TX Carry Compass now makes those reports visible on maps, search results, business details, carry explanations, and iOS proximity alerts.

Reported place restriction

§46.03 or a site-specific federal report takes priority over reassuring sign-only results.

Posted sign or advisory

51%, school advisories, and other posted signs remain visually distinct.

Incomplete report data

Missing information stays unknown—it is never presented as confirmation that carry is lawful.

Government or military categories provide a review prompt only. They never automatically mark a location as prohibited.

Common questions

The app tracks 30.05, 30.06, 30.07, and 51% signs separately from reported Texas Penal Code §46.03, federal facility, USPS property, military installation, and other site-specific federal restrictions.

No. A category can prompt a closer review, but it never creates an automatic legal classification. Public restriction reports require site-specific evidence and moderator approval.

No. Core browsing, search, guides, submissions, and account history are available across iOS, Android, and the web app, but some extras remain platform-specific. For example, proximity alerts are currently surfaced on iOS, while the web app intentionally excludes alerts.

No. It is a community information tool. Reports may be incomplete or outdated. Verify posted signs, direct notice, property rules, exact scope, exceptions, entrances, buildings, grounds, and current law before carrying.

Users can create accounts, review My Contributions, see moderation outcomes and notes, track account status progress, view announcement history, reset passwords, delete accounts, and control theme preferences.
