Texas has implemented a program for people to complain when government entities illegally post "no gun" signs.
Fines are authorized up to $10,000 a day.
Benbrook was not on the list, last I noticed.

One wonders what the signs SPECIFICALLY say to the reader?

I live VERY close to the Benbrook PD station. Very interested to see how this comes out.

Slightly OT, but whoever in the Texas legislature chose to call them “30.06” signs has a devilishly apropos sense of humor.

Ironic, indeed. The 30-aught-6 rule.

According to Texas Penal Code 46.03 (a)(3) , it is illegal to carry in any government court or office utilized by the court. If it is illegal to carry in the police station waiting room because the area is shared by the court, just simple post that. Don’t abuse the trespass section of the code.

I live VERY close to the Benbrook PD station. Me too. Howdy neighbor. :)
I am not a member, but there is a forum "TexasCHLforum", who's members are very active in pursuing illegally posted signage.

30.06 signs and their equivalent in other states are worthless unless enforced with a metal detector or pat downs. There is a pending bill in Arizona that would prohibit the state from disarming permit holders in (state) government buildings unless everyone entering is subject to a weapons screening.

I’m a Texas municipal court judge. Like many small municipalities, We hold court in city council chambers. The prohibition on OC in court only applies while the area is actually being used as a court, so these signs are, IMHO, inappropriate at best.

Curiosity does the law apply to law enforcement personnel or are they exempt?
To: jagusafr
Are you a judge in more than one municipality?

"One wonders what the signs SPECIFICALLY say to the reader?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since "one" is too lazy to look it up for itself:
(The letters are specified by law to be a minimum of 1" high -- so the Benbrook PD notices in the article's photo are legally worthless...)

I read the signs- I was curious about law enforcement - I do not see them listed- are they not licensed like normal serfs
To: Nailbiter
LEOs and (reportedly) Judges are in a special, exempt class of their own...
Haven't checked on legislators -- but they usually take care of themselves, first of all...
IOW, TX legislative politics ain't any purtier than anywhere else humans accumulate...
