I'm wondering how people have made out on this type of situation. I know the law is clear on the requirements for posting a 30.06, but if it's a little bit out of spec, I can see a judge upholding the "spirit" of the posting.

I have no intention of violating it, I am merely asking if it's legal.

However, the potential issue with using mixed case is the size of the lower case letters. If the capital letters are 1" tall, the lower case letters will likely be about 1/2" or 5/8" tall.

"Written communication" means either:
(1) a card or "other document" that has written language "identical" to the following:

"Pursuant to Section 30.06, Penal Code (trespass by holder of license to carry a concealed handgun), a person licensed under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code (concealed handgun law), may not enter this property with a concealed handgun;" or

(2) A sign posted on the property that:
(a) "includes" the above language in both English and Spanish;
(b) appears in contrasting colors with block letters at least one inch in height; and
(c) is displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public.
