Gang-Free Zones
Premises owned, rented, or leased by UT Southwestern, and areas within 1,000 feet of the premises are "gang-free" zones. Certain criminal offenses, including those involving gang-related crimes, will be enhanced to the next highest category of offense if committed in a gang-free zone by an individual 17 years of age or older. See Texas Penal Code, Section 71.028.
