I had a similar conversation with my son. He is about to turn 21 and wants a CHL. He wanted to know why I avoid Katy Mills’s mall. And I told him they have posted 30.06 signs. And he tells me that there are not signs at very entrance so they are not enforceable. I tell him, True BUT why go where I am not wanted. His replies, to stick it to them. But I say, Katy Mills will file the complaint, the Katy police will arrest me, my gun will be confiscated, I will need a lawyer, and I will miss days of work. All this aggravation and it will coast ME thousands of dollars. It will coat Katy Mills nothing. Who is getting it stuck to? Why? To defend my rights and not be pushed around? The Mills cooperation has property rights too. And just because they do not cross every T and dot every I, I’m going to respect their right as I expect mine to be.
So I will shop at Mills corporation malls when they GUARANTEE my safety from criminals. Same thing for Taco Cabana. I’m really going to miss those barbaco tacos in the morning

You need to check all the doors. I went in one at Campbell/75 that had nothing on one side, got my food, sat and ate with my XD AIWB, then saw the 30.06 sign on the other door!

I don't believe this to be true. The law refers to effective notice. If a single entrance is posted and you go through that entrance, you were effectively notified and therefore trespassing. If you use the "other entrances weren't posted" as a defense, I believe you will lose.
If you genuinely don't know that an entrance is posted and you go through a non-posted entrance, you were not effectively notified. However, if 'caught' I believe you may or may not be arrested. In the long run, you would probably "win" that one if arrested, but at great expense.

Mills Corp sold Katy Mills awhile back to another firm (see the middle of the article). I don't know whether this means Katy Mills' stance on CCW has changed though, but you might check it out. I'm 40 miles away so I don't get out on that side of Houston very often.
