Rick, where did you see or hear that this is the DPS position? That was said in a CHL Instructor renewal class some time ago, but it was wrong and I posted an official "clarification" from a DPS Captain.

TPC §30.06 is unique in Texas jurisprudence. It specifies the exact language that must be used by including the phrase " a card or other document on which is written language identical to the following: . . ." A sign that complies with TPC §30.06 must have that same language in English and Spanish.

Now if we're getting into 3/4" tall letters instead of 1" letters, we treading on more dangerous ground, but I am aware of a case in Houston (Harris County) that was thrown out because the letters were not "block letters at least one inch in height."

Chas.
