            Senate Bill 772 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to establish that evidence of a person's failure to exercise the option to forbid the carrying of a handgun by a handgun license holder on the property of a business, such as the fact that there is no posted sign forbidding such carrying, is not admissible as evidence in a trial on the merits in an action that is brought against a person who owns, controls, or manages the property and in which the cause of action arises from an injury sustained on the property, nor does the evidence support such a cause of action against such a person.
