Thank you for the post. I will be very interested in the outcome of this case.

If he has a LTC, they will no doubt amend that to 46.035b-1...which is still a felony. I wonder if there was a properly posted 51% sign. If not he will have a Defense to raise.

It'll be an uphill battle even if the location was improperly posted or wasn't posted at all. The charge isn't for walking past a 51% sign, it's for being in possession of a handgun in a 51% location.

if the location was not properly posted he has a defense to prosecution in 46.035(k) which reads "It is a defense to prosecution under Subsection (b)(1) that the actor was not given effective notice under Section 411.204, Government Code."
