Which paper? There is nothing in the Waco Trib. And frankly, who else would care? IIRC. the issue at Cameron Park Zoo is that they are posted TABC 51%.

This.

I love this zoo. As a Baylor grad who takes his daughter here occasionally before games, I carried there anyway because that is clearly not correct signage (George's has the same problem!).

But if they finally got it right, I'll be thrilled.

We went there 4 times last year. I have yet to see a sign of any kind that would make me not carry there. If they are 51%, the few times a year they sell adult beverages I couldn't afford one cause they must be very pricey.
In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.
