I filed the complaint against the City for the Museum (actually the Omni Theater) and the letter from the AG was just regurgitating the opinion regarding the zoo. It effectively said that, since the City wasn't posting the sign, they were not violating the law. However, the actual AG opinion also stated that, since it was government property, the AG's opinion was that the 30.06 posting was not valid.
It will probably require a test case unless the Legislature fixes it this session.

Re: Cities improperly posting 30.06 signs?
Again, not a lawyer, but my understanding is that carrying into a business after being given verbal notice is a Class A misdemeanor. The clause in the labor code just exempts a chemical plant from the protection that you can claim that it was stored in your locked vehicle in their parking lot (since we are talking about inside the secured area).

Re: Cities improperly posting 30.06 signs?
I need to clarify my post.
I was talking specifically about employees of those chemical companies. The statute that I was thinking of is the same one that requires companies to allow employees to be able to leave their weapons locked in their personal vehicles in the parking lot (Labor Code 52.061) which has an exception for inside the secured area of the plant (LC 52.062).
The company doesn't have to post 30.06/07 notices for the employees because they have already given them verbal notice that handguns are prohibited on company property.

Re: Cities improperly posting 30.06 signs?
Not a lawyer but am somewhat familiar with the questions you are asking.
Regarding the county annex; except during voting season, the only posted area is the JP's office and that is a court so it can be posted. While licensed persons can carry into the tax office, employees are subject to their employer's (the county) policy. However, I believe that the area in back where employees park would not be off limits to a weapon locked in their personal vehicle.
Another example that you referenced would be the chemical plants on the south side of the city. You could keep a weapon locked in your personal vehicle as long as it was outside of the security fence. If you were to drive into the plant with your weapon, not only could you be fired (as all the companies have it against their policies) but, you also could be arrested since the secured area of a chemical plant is spelled out as a prohibited area in the State statutes.
Hope this helps.
