Technically, the sign is irrelevant to us except if it is missing. The law makes it illegal to carry where TABC determines it to be a 51% location. This is with or without the sign. There is then a defense provided (a recent change IIRC) if a sign is not posted.
So, there is no penalty for ignoring a posted sign which is not in a location determined by TABC. There is a defense if the sign is not present (and it might be able to be stretched to improperly posted when present).
But the violations on posting improperly or incorrect signs are all on the store owner. TABC can even revoke their license, though that would be rare and extreme and very doubtful for this violation.
