Return to “Cities improperly posting 30.06 signs?”
Since Texas is a work-at-will state, you'd be lucky if they gave you a reason for termination.Treybadd wrote:So if an employer chooses to terminate an employee over this, what can be done? I love my job and get paid well.
Seriously, you should be able to show them Texas Labor Code 52.061 and that should make them think twice - unless you're situation is exempt via LC 52.016(a) or (b).The AG website has a place for submitting complaints, but 99% of the time (well, it seems like) - the gov. entity gets to weasel out because they're not the "responsible party" for posting the signs. This "fines for signs" thing only applies to the specific example where a gov. entity posts signage, and does not address the specific example where a sign is posted on government (owned or leased) property, regardless of who the "responsible party" is. There is a difference, and the gov. entities know it.Treybadd wrote:Is there any way somone could break it down for me to understand this better? I am trying to figure out where these illegal signs would be and where to go to find what the law says. Am I correct in my thinking that it applies to city or county buildings for example ? Thank you in advance!
If you don't know about it, HB 560 does this very thing. Look into it, and write your reps (I did, and the guy who drafted it).TexasCajun wrote:Eliminating off limits places would be better.

That has also been picked up here, as well:Soccerdad1995 wrote:I may be wrong, but I believe that the Fort Bend library system is claiming that they are in fact a school system and not a collection of libraries. The one in Cinco Ranch is also posted. I think we need to get some legislative clarity on what exactly is a school.Longhorn1986 wrote:Good morning everyone,
I just sent this off to the George Library in Richmond last night. We will see how this goes... [Shortened to reduce post length]
But I agree - there needs to be more legislation on what Texas considers an "educational institution".sixer-sxt-3.7 wrote:...The "do what now?" goes all the way to the top.
Didn't see this addressed - but through texas30.06, I found the complaint was answered here:oljames3 wrote:...
Report this to the AG. I notified the Elgin ISD, submitted form to AG and here. The ISDs seem to think all school property is a school.
