Restrictive — confirm rules carefully
EXPLICITLY airgun-positive — TX Local Gov Code groups "firearms or air guns"
Evidence Texas Local Government Code 229.001 statutorily groups "firearms or air guns" throughout, including discharge regulations and sport-shooting-range rules. TPWD authorizes airguns for big game hunting since 2018 (.30+ caliber, 215 ft-lbs minimum). Private TX ranges (Texas Gun Club) explicitly permit "Air Guns/Rifles."
State-level restrictions Standard range rules; TPWD-managed range hours and access vary by site.
This describes Texas state-level airgun law. Rules at this specific range may be stricter — always confirm with the range directly before traveling.
Always call ahead.
Range policies change — sometimes mid-season. Indoor lanes update caliber rules, clubs revise membership requirements, and public ranges suspend airgun access without warning. Confirm current policy by phone or website before you make the trip.
