I think that sign is required by the TABC in places where alcohol is served, but arent 51% establishments.

Still, I like that sign too. I wouldn't mind seeing it in non-tabc regulated places.

Thats the other reason.

Also, I have this theory. Sometimes some business want to have it both ways. They want to appease the Antis, but not annoy the rest of us.

Putting up a non-compliant sign lets them have it both ways.
And is that a bad thing?

The remedy is civil injunction, though, not fines or jail time.

I'd also like to point out that most of the invalid postings are on government property. The state isn't in the habit of prosecuting itself or cities.

Sure you could.
It'd be death for your business, but you could post one. I don't think you could enforce such a sign, but you can post one, but i'm splitting hairs here.

Now i'm not sure about that.

I'd argue that their First Amendment rights allow to post what ever kind of sign they want.
