Wouldn't this keep us from carrying? I'm gettin all confused here. There are so many gray areas to this. That is why I am trying to learn as much as possible to carry when and where i can;.

A regional transit vehicle is not prohibited under Penal Code sections 46.03 or 46.035.

DART cannot restrict you from carrying even with a 30.06 sign.

My point is that even though DART is not owned or run by the city of Dallas, it is STILL a governmental entity.

DART is not city owned. It is a governmental entity.

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) – a regional transit agency authorized pursuant to Chapter 452
of the Texas Transportation Code – was created by voters and funded with a one-cent local sales
tax on August 13, 1983. The service area
consists of 13 member cities: Addison,
Carrollton, Cockrell Hill, Dallas, Farmers
Branch, Garland, Glenn Heights, Highland
Park, Irving, Plano, Richardson, Rowlett and
University Park.
DART is governed by a 15-member board
appointed by member-city councils
based on population. Eight members are
appointed by the City of Dallas and seven
are appointed by the remaining cities.
Board members serve two-year terms with
no limits. Board officers are elected from
the board membership and serve one-year
terms.
Revenue from the voter-approved one-cent
sales tax, federal funds, investment income,
short- and long-term financing, and farebox
revenue fund the operation and ongoing
development of DART’s multimodal Transit
System Plan.
