The letter is now posted on AG website. Direct link is: https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/fi ... th_Zoo.pdf

Took me a few minutes to find but below is the last paragraph of the relevant OAG's Opinion KP-0108 located here: https://texasattorneygeneral.gov/opinio ... kp0108.pdf. This was referenced in the letter.

A court would likely conclude that a license holder who carries a handgun on property that is owned by a governmental entity but leased to a private entity and that is not a premises or other place from which the license holder is prohibited from carrying a handgun under sections 46.03 or 46.035 of the Penal Code is excepted from the offenses in subsections 30.06(a) and 30.07(a) of the Penal Code.

I'm not a lawyer, but if I understand, this only means that the State cannot fine the city for the improper posting. The land is owned by the City of Fort Worth but they are not responsible for posting the signs.

But I have no desire to spend money at the Fort Worth Zoo.

We lost.

Received my letter today from the OAG's office about my complaint about the Fort Worth Zoo. It is not yet posted on the OAG's webiste here: https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/30 ... ng-letters

Since it should be posted soon at OAG website I will just quote the last paragraph:

"After review, the OAG determines the 30.06 signs at issue were posted by the association, which possesses the exclusive right to post signage on the zoo premises under the terms of its fee-for-services management contract with the city. Further, a reviewing court would likely conclude that under existing law, a private non-profit corporation such as the association is not considered a political subdivision of the state for purposes of section 411.209(a) of the Government Code. Accordingly, the OAG finds signage posted at the entrance to the zoo is not in violation of section 411.209 of the Government Code. The OAG is closing these complaints."
