Greg Abbott of Texas signed SB 11, also known as the “campus carry” law. Javier Auyero is the Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long professor of Latin American sociology at University of Texas, Austin. The law goes into effect Aug. 1, 2016 for Texas public colleges and universities, and a year later for community colleges.
