About this app

TX Carry Compass helps you check community-reported Texas carry signage before you arrive. Browse nearby businesses on a map, search by name or location, open detailed business pages, and submit moderator-reviewed updates that help keep listings current.

Important disclosure:
TX Carry Compass is a privately developed app. It is not a government app, does not represent a government entity, and is not endorsed by any government agency. The app is provided for educational and trip-planning purposes only and does not provide legal advice.

With TX Carry Compass, you can:

- View community-reported signage details for 30.05, 30.06, 30.07, and 51% notices
- Search Texas businesses with location-aware results
- Read business detail pages with freshness information, comments, photos, and moderator-reviewed updates
- Submit new businesses, business updates, signage corrections, reports, and fast-verification updates
- Explore in-app guides covering Texas LTC topics, contributor tips, and sign and legal reference material
- Track your account status and your submitted contributions
- Review gun range details such as website, holster draw, rapid fire, allowed ammo types, and community ratings
- Sign in to comment, upload photos, and help improve the directory

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/
- TABC Sign Requirements: https://www.tabc.texas.gov/texas-alcohol-laws-regulations/sign-requirements/
- USPS Poster 158: https://about.usps.com/posters/pos158/pos158_v04_revision_122019_tech.htm
- 18 U.S.C. 930: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCODE-2024-title18/pdf/USCODE-2024-title18-partI-chap44-sec930.pdf

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.

Ratings and reviews

looks like a good app but there are some bugs signing up for an account. it keeps saying connection failed. it did the same for a bug report. updating review. The developer was quick to contact me regarding the bug and already had an update on the Play Store. I used to use Texas3006 and am finding this to not only be a great substitute, but an improvement. Developer lists statutes for various issues which may involve a firearm. Keep up the great work!

I like the idea. I'm signed in and get errors trying to post pictures or updates to a location.

Fantastic and essential. Thank you!

What’s new

Signs & Restrictions are here! View community-reported §46.03, federal facility, USPS, military, and other site-specific restrictions separately from 30.xx and 51% signs. Use the new §46.03 and Federal filters, see clearer map markers and place details, and submit evidence-backed reports. Categories alone never automatically mark a place as prohibited. Always verify current law and site policies.
