Fines are authorized up to $10,000 a day.
Benbrook was not on the list, last I noticed.
Slightly OT, but whoever in the Texas legislature chose to call them “30.06” signs has a devilishly apropos sense of humor.

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.
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.
