Weapons - Anti-Violence

It is against the policy of Texas A&M University-Kingsville and Texas Penal Code, Section 46.03, for a person to intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly enters the physical premises of a school or educational institution with a firearm, illegal knife, club or prohibited weapon. A conviction under this code is a third degree felony, punishable from two to ten years’ imprisonment and up to $10,000 in fines.

Texas A&M University-Kingsville will adhere to a “zero-tolerance” of violation of the law and of violence in the workplace. We will investigate complaints of threats of intimidation and take disciplinary action when employees demonstrate any behavior, which, in management’s opinion, constitutes a potentially violent situation. This policy extends to persons connected with our business including vendors or others who interact with our employees.
