Complying with HB 33: How the TAG Mobile™ Serves as a Practical Ballistic Shield on Every Campus in texas
Meeting the Mandate: Texas HB 33 and Campus Safety Requirements
Texas House Bill 33 — known as the Uvalde Strong Act — was signed into law to improve emergency preparedness across every public school in the state. Effective September 1, 2025, the law mandates that every campus in every school district must have a ballistic shield and breaching tool available in the event of an active shooter or emergency scenario.

But compliance shouldn't come at the cost of visibility, usability, or daily functionality.
The TAG Mobile™: HB 33-Compliant — and So Much More
Unlike traditional ballistic shields — often stored out of sight in closets or administrative offices — the TAG Mobile™ from Titan Armored Systems is a visible, dual-use solution that:
Meets UL 752 Level 7 & 8 ballistic resistance standards
Provides full-body protection: 48" wide by 74" tall
Functions daily as a dry-erase glassboard and acoustic display
Blends in with classrooms and hallways — does not look "tactical" or threatening
Can be strategically placed in visible, easy-to-access areas
Requires no retrieval or special training to deploy in an emergency
Ballistic Shield vs. TAG Mobile™: A Smart Investment Comparison
Why Visibility and Versatility Matter
In an emergency, every second counts. Traditional ballistic shields may satisfy the law, but if they're hidden away or hard to access, they're not truly effective when needed most.
The TAG Mobile™ is designed to stay in plain sight — stationed at strategic campus locations like:
Main entryways
Classroom doors
Hallways and intersections
Cafeterias, libraries, and auditoriums
This ensures SRO’s, law enforcement & staff always know where to find it — no need to search or retrieve under pressure.
