I've seen many TABC signs that don't follow the red/blue scheme. The thing CHLs really need to look for is not the color, but the "51%". In fact, I don't remember my CHL instructor even mentioning the color of the sign as it relates to 51% places. I would venture to guess that most people outside of this forum are not even aware of the colors.

I agree.

The words sign="red" or sign="blue" are actually printed (in gray... :???: ) on the TABC license certificate. Keith B cited the actual requirements for the Unlicensed Possession sign :tiphat: and they don't really specify the color scheme. On the 51% sign, the TABC rules seem to say that the "51%" must be in red.

Yes, it does. And so does the official one from the TABC that they are supposed to post. The blue Unlicensed Possession signs are to be posted anywhere alcohol is sold or served that is NOT a 51% location.

The whole question is of this thread is if the version of 'home made' sign is legal from the TABC standpoint to be posted.
I think it IS if it meets certain criteria, not as strict as the 30.06 type rules. I don't think you necessarily have to post the TABC supplied "blue" sign if you make your own that meets criteria. Maybe Steve R could say.

And, at least they weren't trying to put up an invalid 51% or 30.06 sign. :thumbs2:
Nope-It seemed the proper width, but about 1/3 the length. The more I think about it, I would want a thug to get as much tacked on as possible and this sign might get him out of some jail time (with the right lawyer) if he does mischief with a gun. I'm not going to tell them though, 'cause who know what other signs might get put up while they're at it.

46.02 doesn't require a posting in order for a non-CHL holder to be convicted, in an alcohol licensed premises or not, so hopefully the bad guy would get a third degree felony anyway.
