at first glance it appears to be the same.
21 sections. No changes to 30.06/30.07. They still only apply to licensed individuals.

If this goes through as worded, it would appear that a LTC holder could carry past 30.06 and 30.07 notice, because he would not be carrying "under the authority" of his license because that authority is not necessary to carry anymore. Unless the store ALSO posted some additional "notice" under 30.05. But if they did that you could still carry , because you HAD ON YOUR PERSON a LTC, even though you weren't carrying under the authority of it. If I'm wrong....then how would a cop with an LTC carry past a 30.06/7 sign?

I would bet most places that post 30.06/07 already have a gunbuster sign.

That's what my primitive mind understood as well, unless verbal notice is given.

So if I'm reading the bill correctly it will eliminate 30.06/7 for license holders...otherwise it will apply 30.06/7 to LEO who happen to have a permit, and to permit holders carrying in their car under MPA....

Maybe most, but certainly not all. Most of the places I see with a 30.06 or 30.07 sign have just the wording with no pictures or anything else.

I thought that the bill supposedly took care of the TABC blue signs, can anyone find that text in the bill?

I wander what the determination would be for those 30.06/30.07 signs that have the gunbuster picture on the 30.06/30.07 signs. I see those signs quite a bit. I would think that since the gunbuster picture is on the 30.06/30.07 sign that it only applies to the 30.06/30.07 trespassing law. Of course... I would assume that any facility banning licensed carry would also intend to ban unlicensed carry as well.

No, that is what I thought initially, but there is section (b) under there that just has 46.02 for licensed and authorized carriers.
Search for "(b) Section 46.02 does not apply to a person who:" and you'll see where the numbering starts over.

First. The bill would appear to eliminate the effect of 30.06/7 by not updating them to include people not carrying UNDER AUTHORITY of LTC.
Second: The above is INDEED helpful for LTC, if I am reading it the same as you.

But if YOU HAVE AND ARE CARRYING A LTC, you are exempt from 30.05. But you're exempt from 30.06/7 because you're not carrying under its authority...

Nope I made the same mistake in the OP, but here:
(a) Sections 46.02, [and] 46.03, and 46.035 do not apply to:
(1) peace officers or special investigators under
...
(b) Section 46.02 does not apply to a person who:
(1) ...
(6) is [carrying:
[(A)] a license holder [issued] under Subchapter
H, Chapter 411, Government Code, [to carry a handgun;] and is
carrying
[(B)] a handgun:
(A) [(i)] in a concealed manner; or
(B) [(ii)] in a [shoulder or belt] holster;
(7) is at least 21 years of age and:
(A) has not been convicted of a felony;
(B) is fully qualified under applicable federal

(C) meets the requirements under Sections

(D) is not a member of a criminal street gang, as
defined by Section 71.01; and
(E) is carrying a handgun:
(i) in a concealed manner; or
(ii) in a holster;
Still just 46.02 for LTC and authorized carriers.
