I recently visited a building that had a sign on the front door of what I believed to be a psuedo state-agency function with some subcontractors working for the state. The sign out front indicated weapons (handguns) were prohibited under section 411.203 of the government code. That reads:
§ 411.203[0]. RIGHTS OF EMPLOYERS. This subchapter does not
prevent or otherwise limit the right of a public or private employer
to prohibit persons who are licensed under this subchapter from
carrying a concealed handgun on the premises of the business.
Added by Acts 1997, 75th Leg., ch. 165, § 10.01(a), eff. Sept. 1,
1997.
There was NO 3006 sign present. Only one sign referencing text to the effect of Texas Government Alliance or something like that.
Would it be legal to carry in this facility since it did NOT have the 3006 sign posted. The above 411.203 indicates the right of the employer to deny access for CHL holders, but wouldn't it also have to have the 3006 sign as part of the requirement?
Building was in Austin at 35/Ben White (Southpark Bldg?) and houses the "One-Stop-Shopping" for all social services project lead by Accenture as primary consulting firm and Maximum as a secondary firm.
