I have a slightly different take on this. Is it unlawful for me, as a non-lawyer, to dispense incorrect legal advice? Because I believe that is exactly what these store owners are doing by continuing to post nonsense signs referencing non-existent TPC sections.chasfm11 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 17, 2023 7:43 am If I'm correct and the TABC signs are being used to force submission by the unknowing public, the TABC SHOULD care. Any time a government agency's name and power are used, it should be done accurately. I see no difference between the scam phone calls that I get with people who claim to be police officers ready to arrest me if I don't pay a jury duty fine (that doesn't exist) and mis-representing the TABC's administrative code. In the example of the blue versus red signs, the TABC is responsible to see that the proper one is used. The "Unlicensed" firearm statement is the same.
For example, if I owned a convenience store / restaurant and I post a prominent sign stating that "Per TPC 12.34 it is a felony to not carry a functional firearm at all times while in the state of Texas. Failure to comply is punishable by death", would there be any legal ramifications against me for dispensing obviously incorrect legal advice?
