I have to attend a large meeting there and wondered if it was posted. Anyone know?

i found out....not posted

I don't think it matters. From what I read, they don't need to post a sign.

PC §46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE
HOLDER.
(b) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder inten-
tionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries a handgun under the authority
of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, regardless of
whether the handgun is concealed, on or about the license holder's
person:

(6) on the premises of a church, synagogue, or other established
place of religious worship.

It is allowable to carry in churchs, etc., unless 30.06 posted.

Ya quit readin' too soon. Keep on going and you'll see where 4 of the original locations were removed (in 1997!) - unless effective notice is given. Don't feel lonesome. Lots of others have had to have that pointed out to 'em in the last 10 years. Ain't the "legal speak" wonderful?

Exactly.

(i) Subsections (b)(4), (b)(5), (b)(6), and (c) do not apply
if the actor was not given effective notice under Section 30.06.

And since we are talking about (b)(6) it means that it is not off limits unless you are properly notified (verbal or legally valid signage).

Sorry, I stand corrected, i missed that clause in the penal code.

He's in good company, for sure: I asked about this during my CHL class and the instructor did not seem to know about it. I could see the later addendum in the handbook but didn't know how to interpret it and did not want to be perceived as challenging the instructor.

One thing you will notice at Prestonwood is the quality of their security.

They are not posted, and I carry when I attend. But I would be much more comfortable not carrying there than I do at places like The Ballpark in Arlington, places that are mandated off limits to concealed carry.
