Bexar County (San Antonio) Tax Assessor

Post by battalion74 »

I went to the Tax Assessor's building in Bexar County (San Antonio) to pay my mothers home property taxes and I didn't see a 30.06 sign. They have a legal writ notice I believe on the exterior door that says their is a courtroom in the building. I checked the floor directory and I didn't see a court room listed. When I asked about the legal notification, they explained to me that the reason for no guns allowed was because the Tax Assessor's office was in the building, (Just because of her). I also noticed that only the building security had handguns, but the deputy sheriff's were unarmed.
I didn't have my pistol on me, but I wanted to make sure for future endeavors. Also, did the state bill pass that would have allowed CHLs to enter buildings with courtrooms as long as we don't enter the courtroom itself?

This has always confused me as well. The Williamson County Courthouse Annex in Georgetown (which has multiple court rooms as well as the County Clerk) has a metal detector at the main entrance, so it's a moot point about carrying there. What about a police station with a courtroom in it?

What on earth makes the "Tax Assessor" the equivalent of a court? Last time I looked, the tax assessor function was the heart and soul of government. The satellite office on Bandera was posted the last time I was there about three years ago, and I figured that was a leftover from before the legislature rapped the city and county governments' knuckle about CHL carry.
