I made sure to locate my office in a downtown building with neither sign, although sometimes I have business in buildings that do have them. I would say a majority of downtown buildings have no sign, a significant minority have 30.07, several have no compliant signs of various types, and only a few have compliant 30.06 and 30.07 signs. Tip: Of the few with compliant 30.06 signs, I can only think of one building that has them at its tunnel entrances.

:iagree:

This sign does not use "language identical to the following" as required by 30.06 and 30.07 and thus has no force of law. I would avoid this business if at all possible. It seems, to me, to indicate that I could expect to be asked to leave were I to carry openly in this place. Were I compelled to enter, I would carry concealed in a manner that actually concealed my handgun rather than my HEB method of simply covering the S&W M&P9 M2.0 5" 17+1 in a Sarariland 7TS ALS on my hip.
My presumption is that any business with substantial resources (and the PM of the major office buildings in question certainly qualifies) has access to competent legal advice and therefore made the deliberate decision to post a non-compliant sign. I interpret that as an attempt to thread the needle by placating the hoplophobes while winking at the carrying public.

Combined 30.06 & 30.07 signs.

I’ve noticed several office buildings in downtown Houston with a single, combined sign reading, “PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 30.06 & 30.07 . . . . MAY NOT ENTER THIS PROPERTY WITH A HANDGUN THAT IS CONCEALED OR CARRIED OPENLY.”

I don’t see how these signs could be compliant when the statutes require “language identical to the following,” not “language substantially similar to the following.”

Just thought I would share.
