What is protocol if a restaraunt posts a 51 % sign but is veried not 51% through the TABC? I'm assuming that we cannot carry. Is this correct?

The license takes precedence over the wrong sign.

As stated above the license is what deems the location 51% or not and off-limits. A wrong sign 51% sign does not make a location off-limits if it is not actually a 51% location. And in turn an unlicensed possession sign or lack of sign does not make a 51% location OK to carry into; it would just give you a defense to prosecution if you happened to carry there and were arrested.

Its the license that matters; If the license and the sign are different (or there is no sign), the license is always right.

If it looks like a bar, and quacks like a bar you probably can't carry, regardless of whether there is a blue sign or no sign and the license says 51%.

the license should be posted in a visible place right? regardless if a 51% sign is posted or not
