Not the sale, but the on-premises consumption...

No, actually if they derive more than 51% of their income from the SALE of alcoholic beverages for on-premises comsumption.

(1) on the premises of a business that has a permit or
license issued under Chapter 25, 28, 32, 69, or 74, Alcoholic

However, what the instructor told us is that the 51 sign has two uses. One is at the bars etc with 51% or more of income coming from alcohol. The other being at hospitals and in that case they wouldnt be required to put the 51% in big red letters behind the text. It would just mirror the text and for all hospitals this sign was "implied" even though it wasn't posted.

I have NO idea what that means. There is NO 51% for anything other than places that sell alcohol for on-premises consumption.

Either you did not understand your instructor or he had no idea what he was talking about.

If a hospital is posted 30.06 you cannot carry. If it has anything else, including a 51% sign, you CAN carry. Nothing is "implied".

There is no one who enforces signs that are non-compliant. A non-compliant sign is simply non-enforceable.

Who knows what a judge would say?

I would think that if you said in court that you took your measuring tape out and measured the letters you would not have an easy time.

If the sign meets the proper wording and is close to proper size, then just don't carry there.

That section simply tells the hospitals what they must display. The penal code is where the laws people going in must follow.

If it is not 30.06 compliant, a CHL holder is not subject to obeying it.
