I may be wrong, but I believe that the Fort Bend library system is claiming that they are in fact a school system and not a collection of libraries. The one in Cinco Ranch is also posted. I think we need to get some legislative clarity on what exactly is a school.

That has also been picked up here, as well:

That's the thread I found when I noticed 46.03 posting on the George Memorial Library window a month back.

Fort Bend County posted a letter, and this was signed off by an FBC Judge

But I agree - there needs to be more legislation on what Texas considers an "educational institution".

Dear Mr. Chao,

My name is Mxxxxxx Xxxxxxx and I am a resident of Fort Bend County. I stopped by the George Memorial Library today at lunchtime and noticed that you have posted Texas Penal Code 46.03 signage indicating that firearms are prohibited in the library regardless of licensing.

Per section 46.03 which you cite, individuals possessing a valid license to carry may only be prohibited under the following conditions:

during school-sponsored activities on library grounds (Texas Penal Code §46.03(a)(1))

during early voting or on election day if the library is a polling place (Texas Penal Code §46.03(a)(2))

during a meeting of a governmental body, such as a public library district board meeting, but only in the room where the meeting is being held (Texas Penal Code §46.035(c))

Other than those specified times, a license holder may not be prohibited from carrying.

I respectfully request that you remove your signage within the three days as specified by the Texas Attorney General's office. Failure to do so will result in the filing of a complaint with and an investigation by the Texas AG office.

I urge the Fort Bend County library system to comply with the laws of Texas.

Respectfully,

Mxxxxxx Xxxxxxx




I cc'd the TSRA as well. Stuff like this in Travis Co. or Harris Co wouldn't surprise me. I expect better in Ft. Bend.

Update
I have finally spoken with Keith Hardcastle (Director of HR). He is a very hard person to get ahold of, or he just didn't like me trying to get the sign removed. He claims he was in contact with the Attorney General for Texas and he was told that he is able to prohibit a CHL from entering the office location.

In all of encounters to get signs removed, this is the only person that claims to of talked to the AG. Every other municipality that I have been working with has removed their signs. Where do I go from here? I called the AG and its attorney-client so no luck there. I think I want to go submit an open records request for any emails concerning the 30.06 sign within GCWDA and see what I can get.

Any ideas?
