It is now one strike and you’re out in Texas.
A new state law — Senate Bill 2929 — allows high school sports officials and school administrators to immediately eject spectators for bad behavior.
Previous UIL rules required a verbal warning before ejection
The new law institutes a zero-tolerance policy with no mandated warning
There is no appeals process
A local report said if a school has three incidents that fall under the new law, it is at risk of being prohibited from booking officials for its sports teams.
One school official said the law can be applied to all events. So an ejection from a football game could prohibit a parent from attending graduation ceremonies.
