I was trying to say volunteering would require you knowingly fail to conceal, which would be prosecuted under the following,
(g) An offense under Subsection (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e) is a Class A misdemeanor
And, (i) does not exempt section (a).
I see, sorry.

Of course that is not the only way to be discovered and prosecuted, the rest of which would involve 46.035(i).

The problem with being a test case is you can have charges stacked on, like intentionally failing to conceal, in order to "get" arrested for violating a non-compliant sign. Thus, you may have the charge dropped for the non-compliant sign violation, but you still have to face the Class A misdemeanor for violating PC 46.035(a).

Sort of like the Ft. Hood Staff Sgt. who trial for carrying in a non-posted hospital starts tomorrow. He was arrested on a bogus charge, but then they piled on the intoxication charge after the fact.

Also, I don't have the funds or lawyer buddies to do that. I would not carry past a 30.03 sign on purpose. :roll:
Since the sign was non-compliant, how have you violated any part pf 46.035? 46/035 doesn't even apply "(i) Subsections (b)(4), (b)(5), (b)(6), and (c) do not apply if the actor was not given effective notice under Section 30.06."
