TABC cares and will respond to reports of an improper sign on a licensed premise. The problem with reporting the bad sign at the hospital is that they do not have a license issued by TABC. So, TABC has no jurisdiction or authority over what signs they post.
Y5e06,
The law says their license must be posted where it is visible to the public. In theory, you should be able to see it, and if it is not clearly readable (say in view but behind the counter) you should be able to ask to read it. I have to admit that this does not always work and some places will argue with you about letting you see their license. In that case, report that to TABC also. They will get told about it and there is a good chance the agent will find something else wrong while there also. I am a firm believer that the people who obey the law will almost always do so, including posting properly and letting you see the sign. The people who try to skirt the law will do so in other ways also.

ct214,
If the signs are the TABC signs only, with no 30.06 sign, then they do not have a choice on which sign gets posted. The laws are specific on what they post and TABC will enforce the rules on it. If they are posting the 51% sign in lieu of trying to get a 30.06 sign, we can get the correct sign posted. Then there is a good chance they will let it drop since they still have a no guns without a permit sign. If they want to push it, the odds of them getting a valid 30.06 sign instead of some generic no guns sign are pretty bad.
