Government and legal reference information:
Some guides and business detail pages include links to official public sources so users can verify information directly. Official sources referenced in the app include:

- Texas DPS Handgun Licensing: https://www.dps.texas.gov/section/handgun-licensing
- Texas DPS Licensing and Registration: https://www.dps.texas.gov/section/handgun-licensing/licensing-registration
- Texas Statutes: https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/
- TABC Public Inquiry: https://www.tabc.texas.gov/public-information/tabc-public-inquiry/

Community submissions are reviewed before public display. Because signage, laws, licensing, and business practices can change, always verify posted notice and official sources before carrying.

Location access is used to show nearby places and help validate certain submissions. Some business detail pages may also include publicly available reference context, such as TABC verification information when available.

If you want a practical, community-powered companion for checking Texas carry signage and helping keep listings current, TX Carry Compass is built for that purpose.
