UPDATE MAY 11, 2023
NEW NON-COMPLIANT TINY SIGNS ON THE ENTRANCE OF THE ROOM WHERE BURNET APPRAISAL PROTESTS ARE HELD WHICH IS NEXT DOOR TO THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT WHERE YOU GO IN TO PAY...-LOOKS LIKE 30.06 30.07 AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ARE ON 3X5 OR 4X6 CARDS TAPED ON A GLASS DOOR, THEY WANT TO PRETEND IT'S A COURTROOM I GUESS ... WHO IS THE JUDGE?

OR
THEY MAY BE RELYING ON
"APPRAISAL DISTRICT REVIEW BOARD"

Sec. 46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER.
(c) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries a handgun under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, regardless of whether the handgun is concealed or carried in a holster, in the room or rooms where a meeting of a governmental entity is held and if the meeting is an open meeting subject to Chapter 551, Government Code, and the entity provided notice as required by that chapter.
https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs ... GV.551.htm
Chapter 551, Government Code,
(H) the governing board of a special district created by law;

SO, WHAT NOTICE IS REQUIRED BY Chapter 551, Government Code? ALL I SEE IS THEY NEED TO POST NOTICE OF OPEN MEETING AT THE COURTHOUSE ON A BULLETIN BOARD? I SEE NOTHING ABOUT NOTICE TO NOT CARRY BEING REQUIRED, JUST THAT IT'S UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER. (WITH NO NOTICE REQUIREMENT?)


STILL, THE SIGNS ARE SMALL &

(BUT NO SIGNS ON APPRAISAL DISTRICT MAIN ENTRANCE NEXT DOOR WHERE YOU GO IN TO PAY)

Burnet County Appraisal District removed their improper signs

They HAD a sign on the door, 3 years ago, and [/u]I mentioned it to the employees, they still had the sign 2 years ago, so I called the County Criminal Prosecutor who said he thinks appraisal districts are Courts because like the restaurant, office supply store etc, it's on the Courthouse square and they have administrative "hearings" there (with real estate appraisers, not Judges)

Last year, I mentioned it to a County Judge who's husband was running for District Judge (both have CHLs and are VERY knowledgeable ) [ I asked the candidate if he had a CHL when he was campaigning, he said yes he and his wife both do ... I then told him about the non-compliant unenforceable sign ...]

Went and paid my House taxes minutes ago, took camera to photo the sign .... doors now have no sign except the hours they are open and one pointing to envelopes and drop box for after hours payments. No such signs inside either.

The worst part is that you actually have to walk through the metal detectors if you want to visit 2 non-court areas that are not behind the metal detectors. I've thought about filing complaint, but decided against it after reading that most are waiting for the City of Austin case to follow it's course. The interesting thing is that the county obviously knows they're pushing the limits of the law. At most other county offices, all the 30.06/30.07, no gun signs and other notices have come down.

Burnet's County Court Annex is the same setup

Not sure what section to post this in, didn't see it posted yet.

“The law does not prevent them from posting. No, we concur with that,” Holcomb said. “But is the law preventing me from carrying past that sign? The law doesn’t answer that.”

So he said he’s giving state lawmakers until the end of the 85th Legislature in May to straighten out the issue.

“I’m asking the Legislature to fix this,” he said. “They’re creating a dangerous situation for people when they say, ‘Yeah, you can post,’ and ‘Yeah, you can ignore the post.’ ”
