You confused this sign with the 30.06. Spanish is irrelevant.
Yep. And even possibly irrelevant to the 51% sign. The 51% sign only need to be posted in one language, so you may see it in English OR Spanish, but may not see the other language together. The 30.06 is the only sign that is required to be posted together in both languages.

Enforceable? Huh? It is not a 30.06 sign. :headscratch

This is the TABC 'Unlicensed Possession' sign that must be put up at non-51% locations. Means nothing to a CHL'er except that we can carry there.

And per the TABC rules, the sign meets their requirements, so it legal to post per the guidelines.

Re: Very pretty "Unlicensed Possession" sign

Found the answer here on page 38 http://www.tabc.state.tx.us/laws/other/ ... sGuide.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Each off-premise retailer and other retail licensees and permittees not listed in the above paragraph (51% sign - KB) are required to display a sign in a prominent place on the premises which is clearly visible to the public. The sign must be at least 6 inches high and 14 inches wide and in contrasting colors giving notice that it is unlawful for a person to carry a weapon on the premises unless the person is licensed to carry the weapon under the concealed handgun law.
So, if that Chili's sign meets that size requirement (which it looks like it probably does) then it would be legal.

Yes, it does. And so does the official one from the TABC that they are supposed to post. The blue Unlicensed Possession signs are to be posted anywhere alcohol is sold or served that is NOT a 51% location.

The whole question is of this thread is if the version of 'home made' sign is legal from the TABC standpoint to be posted.

Re: Very pretty "Unlicensed Possession" sign

I don't think it meets the letter of the statutes due to the fact it is not 'blue'. Also looks like the lettering is much smaller, so don't think it is valid for posting, but I am not the TABC.

And, at least they weren't trying to put up an invalid 51% or 30.06 sign. :thumbs2:
