Well I just got to my doctor's office for my semiannual checkup, and the office is now posted both 06 & 07. Signs are compliant, located on the window to the right of the door. I've submitted the location on texas3006.com.

It's the Quest Care office at the corner of Davis Blvd and Bear Creek Parkway in Keller.

I was probably going to have to change doctors for insurance reasons anyway, but this just cements the deal. Too bad too, because I've been a patient of that practice since right after I first moved to Texas in 2006.

Sigh. FWIW, the employees aren't happy about it either. The practice was bought by Quest a while back, and this was a corporate decision.

That's disturbing news for me also, my doctor's practice was recently purchased by Questcare. I haven't been in a few months, but it wasn't posted before. I may be looking for a new doctor also.

Trinity Mother Francis was not posted as of last Friday; however, they have recently merged (?) with Christus (whatever that is), so we'll see what we see. If TMF posts 30.06, we'll just have to leave our guns in the truck cause there ain't nobody else.

Based on this, plus what I've seen, Quest must be doing this to all places they have control of.
Many medical facilities all over this area have been put off limits since the first of the year.

TMF has been posted with non-compliant signage for years...

Not everywhere....

I have yet to see a compliant sign on any of our medical facilities here in Tyler. Unless the new Christus outfit is rabidly anti-gun, I see the status quo remaining unchanged. they currently have signage, I don't see them overhauling it...but I could be wrong.

My physician and practice became affiliated with a major Texas university medical system a couple of years ago and I expected to see signs back then, but never did happen. After open carry passed I figured they'd post signs. No signs appeared at first, but my last visit in April they'd finally posted a 30.07 sign, no 30.06 though. Same for the Quest Diagnostics lab next door. Only had a 30.07.

Christus owns one of the hospitals here in Beaumont along with a clinic. They are posted 06/07 so........

Oh, they do have "No Weapons Allowed" and Gunbuster signs but I don't even count them as non-compliant. To me, non-compliant is wrong wording, size, etc. Even so, I don't have the pockets nor the time to play test case.

If they do go .07 and/or .06, I'll abide by their wishes.

Its Christus St. Elizabeth and there was no 30.06 at the north side Outpatient Pavilion until 9 months ago when the below happened:

The small caliber pistol discharged and sent a bullet through a wall. The bullet struck a woman in her hip, according to police.

I believe the medical trade associations have been pushing their members to put up the signs. There have a lot of medical practices and providers posted this year.

Seems like medical providers is the largest percentage of new signs based on my observations. However, I have ran any numbers to verify this.

Here you go. This will give you some insight into what is happening.

What you are seeing is the corporate takeover of medicine- that's a much scarier situation than a 30.06/07 sign. The doctor can't control what signage is placed. He also has no control over how you are treated and where he sends you for treatment. Don't think that you are getting the "best" care now that the hospital/corporation owns the doc.

Two of my doctors have changed my medicines because of "company regulations." I have been told they have to use "manufacture A's" medicines and not "manufacture B's" medicines.

Here's an interesting read.

Many doctors within the AMA and at other medical associations say there is mounting research that has shown laws allowing people to carry guns and other weapons have been linked with an increase in firearm assaults.
