Ok, I'll bite. How does having a license from another state solve the problem? You still have to follow Texas laws in Texas.

It will not do any good. DPS tells instructors that any 'no guns' sign is notification, legal or not, so they will not take action on an instructor teaching this.
If this is accurate, it's very disappointing. It's even worse than an individual officer making up his own laws and interpretations. It needs to be addressed.
I do not know who told Keith B this, but I have not experienced any such notification from the DPS.
I just finished up the New LTC Instructor course today. I can tell you first hand that what Keith said is exactly what we were told - and this was reinforced by multiple instructors.

They told us in no uncertain terms that (a) gunbuster signs, (b) “No Guns” signs, and (c) a sign containing only the term “30.06” (with no other accompanying verbiage) all demonstrate the property owner’s intent, so therefore all have the force of law.
As they said in the January 2016 class. One instructor even stated that he knew a case where an individual was convicted for violating an invalid sign. No details of course.

This problem needs to be solved at DPS first.
