IANAL, but I'd think the OC clause, unless it meets the requirements of TPC 30.07 (I guess it could qualify as a "card") is not an issue of criminal trespass but of civil lease contract. You could get evicted but you haven't broken any laws. However, IANAL and I could very well be wrong.
Whether it's a a trespass violation or a violation of the lease terms the bottom line is it could get you evicted. That is a hassle I'm not prepared to face. Anyone who lives in an apartment should be aware of the terms of their lease (which they signed) as it pertains to firearms. A restaurant or a business asking you to leave is one thing - your apartment complex asking you to leave is something else.

My apartment complex hasn't posted any signs on the property yet, but there is still no open carrying on the property in the common areas which they inform me is everything outside my apartment door. The prohibition against open carrying is contained in my lease. No mention of concealed carry so I still do that when I leave my apartment.
