I just for the life of me can't get what is so hard to understand.

The law is quite clear on what constitutes "effective notice." You either have to be told to your face that you aren't allowed to carry there, handed a card or a sheet of paper with the 30.06 language on it (them leaving it laying about does not count), or a sign has to be posted where you can see it with the exact 30.06 language in both English and Spanish, in block letters at least one inch tall that contrast against the background. If the sign does not absolutely meet the set of very specific and exacting criteria, it is meaningless.

If the mall posts a compliant sign on the South entrance but not on the East and you come in through the East, then you have not been given effective notice. If someone on a internet forum tells you that that mall is posted, that is hearsay. You have not been given effective notice because you didn't see the sign because you came in through a door that is not posted. Too bad for the mall.

My opinion is that you must be given effective notice each and every visit. Signs are not for eternity. Signs go up and signs come down. Management changes. Policies change. If I go to XYZ place and see a 30.06 sign, I have been given effective notice. If I go there three weeks later, enter through a different door and don't see a sign, I have not been given notice. My first thought is going to be that they took the signs down. It happens. We have seen stories on this board about how someone wrote to the company and got them to take their signs down. Iam not obligated to, nor am I going to, go around and check all of the other doors.

Besides, all that will probably happen if you get caught is they will ask you to leave, in which case you have been given effective notice. If they call the cops on you, the police will come and ask you to leave. You will thell them that you didn't see the sign and the police will let you leave.

Katy Mills mall is actually located in Ft. Bend County.
