Thanks. Hopefully we will get a good interpretation here soon.Vol Texan wrote:
, I see that you have fewer then 9 postings on here. Some of yours go back to 2008 (so you're no newbie by any means), but I wanted to say thanks for joining in on the conversations more. So, rather than saying 'welcome to the forum', I can (sort of) say, 'welcome back'! I also lurked here for some time before I became more active, and I've learned a ton in both modes.

Re: Daycare and Pre-Schools
I've always read it the way you are, but when I found that forum post it made me wonder. Hence why I posted, I Want closer on this topic for myself.Vol Texan wrote:
You're taking a piece of the Texas Penal Code and mixing it with the Texas Health and Safety Code. The former of those two describes the laws that we must follow (and the penalties for not doing so), and the latter describes the things that the institutions must do in order to maintain their licensing and status (YES! I know that is a dramatic oversimplification, but as I said, I'm no lawyer.)
I'll defer to the much brighter legal minds here to set this straight for us, but I think that the comparison you've made is a bit off the mark.

Re: Daycare and Pre-Schools
I found this information on another forum, and traced it out and believe it to be true. Daycare = no go. Give me your take on it.
"I believe a Day Care in Texas will be treated as a school if it meets the following:
(7) "Day-care center" means a child-care facility that provides care for more than 12 children under 14 years of age for less than 24 hours a day. Human Resources Code Sec. 42.002
I got to that definition by working through the code as it is referenced under the CCW laws because this would be the penalty for carry in an weapon free school zone:
PC 46.11. PENALTY IF OFFENSE COMMlTTED WITHIN WEAPON-FREE SCHOOLZONE.
(c) In this section, "institution of higher education," "premises," and "school" have the meanings assigned by Section 481.134, Health and Safety Code.
Which leads us here:
Health & Safety Code Sec. 481.134
(5) "School" means a private or public elementary or secondary school or a day-care center, as defined by Section 42.002, Human Resources Code."
