I live in an apartment complex with a new TAA addendum attached to the back of the lease form. No one has ever asked to see my LTC here. I do know that in Texas, when you are asked for photo ID, the LTC is a legal substitute for a driver license or state ID card (for those who don't drive). In the lease addendum where I live, there are four options they can choose to check off: 1 and 2 pertain to carrying handguns concealed or open carry anywhere on the property (except inside your car and apartment or directly to and from your apartment); 3 and 4 pertain to carrying handguns concealed or open carry in the leasing office/community room. My landlord chose to ban guns from the leasing office/community room, and that building has signs on the outside at both entrances. I had to sign this addendum form or choose to live somewhere else. As long as I can carry on my daily walks, check my mailbox, or visit a neighbor while armed, I don't care about going to bingo games or attending their parties. If I have important business in the leasing office, I leave my handgun in my car at the front door of the office. I have not tested my option for open carry here, because I don't want to make waves. You're probably asking yourself why I don't move? The answer is that I have 2-3 close friends that I treasure, who also live here.
