While you could make the argument, TABC has defined which portions of the building are covered in their license. It is not where the drinks are being sold, but anywhere they can be sold or taken to drink. The law does not allow you to take alcoholic beverages out of the licensed portion, if any part of the building is marked off as not covered on the license application.

I do not think you would win the case. There is a lot of case law on it where the courts have recognized the building unless marked off by TABC.

There were no 30.06/30.07 signs, but there was the red 51% sign, and security was wanding people and checking purses. She opted not to carry so as to not cause a scene at the entrance, but it does raise an interesting question - is the 51% sign valid for an event where they are not selling alcohol?

Yes, it is valid if the location was determined by TABC to be a 51% location. Please note that, like schools, for 51% sign the law reads on the premises of a location". It does not say while holding classes, serving alcoholic beverages, etc. The status of the location is the determining factor.
