Astroworld has been gone ten years but even back when it was in operation it was separate from the BBQ cookoff and livestock show grounds.

I partly agree and partly disagree. You are correct that the notice must be in English and Spanish. But I disagree with your definition of the way it must be presented. I think the court would find that the web site constitutes "other document" within the meaning of the law. Of course, there is the problem of proving that you in particular saw the web site when you were carrying, but it you admitted to it, I think it would hold up as written notice.

Frankly, I'm a little confused. I think the DPS FAQ's are out of date. For instance, they way we can't carry on the premises of a hospital or nursing home, but in my CHL class I was told I couldn't carry in a hospital if 30.06 was posted. Odd, that one kind of place would be specifically mentioned as 30.06-compatible, so to speak, but that's what my instructor said.

I need to do some more reading. In the meantime, I'll err on the side of caution.

(f) In this section:
(1) "Amusement park" means a permanent indoor or outdoor facility or park where amusement rides are available for use by the public that is located in a county with a population of more than one million, encompasses at least 75 acres in surface area, is enclosed with access only through controlled entries, is open for operation more than 120 days in each calendar year, and has security guards on the premises at all times. The term does not include any public or private driveway, street, sidewalk or walkway, parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area.

(i) Subsections (b)(4), (b)(5), (b)(6), and (c) do not apply if the actor was not given effective notice under Section 30.06.
