That sign is (legally) worthless in Texas. Only a sign meeting "Section 30.06" enforceable. Per the TXDPS website:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PROHIBITING HANDGUNS IN A BUSINESS OR OTHER ENTITY

In order to provide notice that entry on property by a license holder with a concealed handgun is forbidden, Penal Code Section 30.06(c)(3)(A) requires that a written communication contain the following language:

"PURSUANT TO SECTION 30.06, PENAL CODE (TRESPASS BY HOLDER OF A LICENSE TO CARRY A CONCEALED HANDGUN) A PERSON LICENSED UNDER SUBCHAPTER H, CHAPTER 411, GOVERNMENT CODE (CONCEALED HANDGUN LAW), MAY NOT ENTER THIS PROPERTY WITH A CONCEALED HANDGUN."

"CONFORME A LA SECCIÓN 30.06 DEL CÔDIGO PENAL (TRASPASAR PORTANDO ARMAS DE FUEGO) PERSONAS CON LICENCIA BAJO DEL SUB-CAPITULO H, CAPITULO 411, CODIGO DE GOBIERNO (LEY DE PORTAR ARMAS), NO DEBEN ENTRAR A ESTA PROPIEDAD PORTANDO UN ARMA DE FUEGO."

Penal Code Section 30.06(c)(3)(B) further states that a sign must meet the following requirements: includes the language described by Paragraph (A) in both English and Spanish; appears in contrasting colors with block letters at least one inch in height; and is displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public.

That is a BIG sign (about 18" X 24")-- and very few places (mostly banks and hospitals) display them.

Perhaps the need a sign that says:

NOTICE:
IT IS ILLEGAL TO ROB BANKS!

I’ve seen smaller signs in Dallas. Interesting that they don’t meet the legal requirement.

Note that the "30.06 Sign" only prohibits law-abiding, licensed handgun carriers from entering. No such legal restriction is imposed on illegal aliens and other criminals...

ROFL the irony that that law would be 30.06. kinda like the mccarthy bill being 1022.

I love that the section is number 30.06. It could only be better if it was Section .38 SPL.
