I have been in those offices before, and had never noticed a 30.06 sign. Now all entrances are posted with "compliant" signs. I believe there is a court in the building, but also the tax assessment and vehicle registration offices. The signs are at the entrances of the building.

I plan to discuss the issue with a friend who is a League City councilman. Anything else I can do to get this corrected?

The Texas legislature needs to address this issue in 2013. It should be just as simple as it is when a non 51% business post the wrong sign and you report it to TABC. They come in and make the business fix it. There should be an office you call and they go to the location and sets them straight.

I've been wrong several times lately, but if there is a court in the building I think you're out of luck anyway.

As you know, Section 46.03 of the Penal Code prohibits "carrying a weapon on “any grounds or building on which an activity sponsored by a school or educational institution is being conducted.” During such times of BISD sponsored activities, we will post such notice publicly to inform all users of the center. When the center is not being used for an activity sponsored by a school or educational institution, it does not fall within “a premises or other place on which the license holder is prohibited from carrying the handgun under §46.03 or §46.035.”

And what happens if you are at the gym, carrying, before the school activity starts and before they put the sign. Are you supposed to run off the building as soon as you see students? What if you are in a different part of the building and don't notice that there are students, what then? Might want to get them to clarify these what ifs, just in case.

Actually, there is consensus among many in the know that unless the facility is owned by the school, or fully under their control when the activity is taking place, that it does not fall under the guidelines of 46.03. A good example is a museum or the zoo does not automatically become off limits just because a school field trip shows up.

So, this might be a good time for the city to get a legal ruling, including an opinion from the Attorney General to if the facility becomes off-limits when a school function is being held but the school is not totally controlling the facility (i.e. others can still use it.)
