Also other establishments that sale alcohol. WalMart as well as the local 7-11, Grocery Stores,etc… that have alcohol sales. I don’t think people think about this.

Sorry sir, but incorrect. TABC Blue signs are no longer valid. Under HB 1927 unlicensed can now carry into establishments that sell alcohol ( off site consumption ). I sort of joked about Walmart because they began putting up 30.05 signs even before CC became legal. 30.05 of course being for unlicensed carry only, this mean nothing to LTC.

I admittedly don't go to Wallyworld often, so I may have missed it, but I have yet to see a 30.05 sign there. I do see 30.05 on HEB doors though.

I do not believe this is correct. The only locations that sell alcohol that are off limits by statute in 46.03 are:
"(7) on the premises of a business that has a permit or license issued under Chapter 25, 28, 32, 69, or 74, Alcoholic Beverage Code, if the business derives 51 percent or more of its income from the sale or service of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption, as determined by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission under Section 104.06, Alcoholic Beverage Code;"

This only applies to 51% locations. The TABC blue sign that communicated the prohibition on unlicensed carry of a firearm where alcohol sold for off-premises consumption or on premises consumption where the sale of alcohol was <51% of revenues was repealed with the Constitutional Carry bill - 87R HB1927.

Section 7 doesn't apply to license holders if the location hasn't posted 30.06/7 signs.

(p) Sections 46.03(a)(7), (11), and (13) do not apply if the actor:
(1) carries a handgun on the premises or other property, as applicable;
(2) holds a license to carry a handgun issued under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code; and
(3) was not given effective notice under Section 30.06 or 30.07 of this code or Section 411.204, Government Code, as applicable.
