National parks have been in the news quite a bit recently, but I found this section in the Rules and Regs for Harris County Parks:

RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR COUNTY PARKS IN HARRIS
COUNTY, TEXAS

Section 10. Weapons.
No person, other than a peace officer, may carry or possess a weapon within a
park, except at specifically designated shooting and archery ranges or at
special events for which weapons are expressly authorized in writing by the
Park Superintendent.

Is this enforceable for CHL holders? There are no "no guns" signs at the few parks I've been to in the county.

nope, not LEGALLY enforceable.

I think the rule was written before the law changed a few years ago.

IANAL, but as I understand current law, such a rule is not legally enforceable. And I suspect the Harris County DA office is well aware of it.

If there are "no guns" signs remaining from the past era (when government bodies were misinterpreting the law and think that they could ban guns from places like this) it might be something that a few letters, including one from the TSRA, could take care of.

But these vestigal signs are somewhat of a low priority issue, IMO. There's a "no weapons" sign at the entrance to Riverbend Park here in Smithville for instance. The park is LCRA property. Last session, the legislature spelled it out to the LCRA that they could not ban CHL's from carrying guns. (The previous change in the law, while clear enough IMO, didn't seem to impress them. The new law refers specifically to LCRA property, and states that CHL's are allowed to carry there.) I'm not concerned about the sign at this point. No DA in his right mind would try to charge anyone with unlawful carrying, given the current law.
