I politely pulled the Bartender over and told her she needed to explain to the owner that their signage was unlawful and got the heck out of there as quickly as I could.
Why was it improper? Was it actually licensed as a 51% place? If it is not a RED sign license, it is not illegal to carry there even if a sign is posted.
Because it wasn't lawfully posted outside the entrance nor inside the vestibule in a conspicuous/obvious place.

As to the next post, I reported it as a courtesy. You may beat the charge, but you can't beat the ride. Odds are very high that if anyone reported someone for carrying in there they'd end up cuffed, stuffed, and spend several hours at a minimum as a guest of the Lubbock PD.

Fortunately I have a couple of friends on the force in senior positions who could have interceded on my behalf and explained why the sign was illegal but the average guy wouldn't have.
I think you missed my point - if it is a licensed 51% place, you can't carry there regardless of where their sign is posted, or if even if they didn't post the sign. It may be a defense to prosecution, but as you said, you may take the ride.

Indeed, that would just be a waste of time and resources, simply ignore them and go about your business.
I agree, but 51% are different I've reported several businesses (via the TABC app) that were improperly posting 51% signs. They were taken down and replaced with BLUE signs, and no 30.06/7 was posted. Win-Win.

Re: How to report improper §30.06 signs

I'm chomping at the bit to put the Waco Courthouse Annex on report. No courts or jails in that building.
