The Texas Legislature has approved a bill allowing students with proper licenses to keep guns in their cars on college campuses.

The House and Senate previously passed the proposal by Republican Sen. Glenn Hegar of Katy. Both chambers last Sunday then approved a version reconciled in conference committee, sending it to Gov. Rick Perry's desk to be signed into law.

Under current law, universities can post a sign prohibiting guns like any private property owner. But the approved measure overrides that.
