You are carrying under Chapter 411 Subchapter H

GC CH. 411. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY OF THE STATE
OF TEXAS
Subch. H. LICENSE TO CARRY A CONCEALED HANDGUN
GC §411.203. RIGHTS OF EMPLOYERS. This subchapter does not
prevent or otherwise limit the right of a public or private employer to
prohibit persons who are licensed under this subchapter from carrying
a concealed handgun on the premises of the business.

Subchapter H does not apply to your employer, so 30.06 does not apply to your employer. So you are under 30.05
I am not sure I am understanding what youa re saying or how it is meant to apply.

I agree that the OP is carrying under the authority of their CHL. I don't know how you can say that subchapter H does not apply to their employer though, since it applies to all employers in Texas other than the federal government. That is what the phrase public or private employer means. The government at any level is a public employer. All businesses or people that are not part of the government are private employers.

But regardless of who the employer is, 30.06 would also apply since it does not mention employers at all. Anyone can post a 30.06 sign and have it be enforceable if they are not on property owned or leased by a governmental entity.

Given that, I am not sure what your conclusion meant. I think we are in agreement that the OP can carry legally but can be fired for it if the company decides to. It is not going to be automatic since the wording of their policy is unclear, but it could happen since we are an at will state.
