It's funny, after "They been found." was posted, I almost left a post stating that it kind of felt like a "Tawana Brawley" to me, but decided not to because it might be viewed as somewhat insensitive, racially and other wise, and now it appears to be just exactly so.

They were found in Lometa I think. I serious, serious doubt they were kidnapped.

They have admitted they were not.

Sorry for the previous Post that was deleted. I guess looking back on it I should have thought about it more. Ill be more cautious in the future.

BTW While watching a live news sotry on the subjects the night they were found Ch 8 (ABC here in FTW-Dal) was interviewing a Terrell officer in front of what I believe was the Terrell Police Department. Well behind the officer, over his right shoulder I could make out what appeared to be signage that stated one could not carry concealed in their building.

Terrell is a little far for me to check it out but if someone here is close by they ought to go by and see. If it's verified I'd be glad to write the Chief a letter saying that the signs are illegal.

If it was the Terrell PD they do not have to have any sign. They are a prohibited place by law. Cant carry in a LEO building.

Are you sure?

PC Â§46.035 doesn't mention LEO buildings, only "premises of a correctional facility". Our building has a jail not a "correctional facility" and thus being a government bulding we had to remove our signage shortly after it was put up. This was just a couple of years ago.

Sure you can, Plano PD even took down their (non-compliant) signs as soon as the law was passed. I'll bet that either Terrell PD decided that they don't need to comply, the city decided they couldn't afford to take them down, or that building houses a court.

Even if the signs are up, there is nothing illegal about them. If there is no court or office of the court in the building, the signs are not enforceable, thats all.

That's my bad. It was a bad choice of words.
