If a company has a business attire dress code, what law do you violate by wearing casual clothes? How long can they send you to jail?

If they want to make it illegal for good guys to carry concealed, the law tells them exactly how to do that.

If they didn't follow the law, I have to conclude they didn't intend to make it illegal for good guys to carry.

If they complain when I skip work, does that mean they gave me effective consent to enter and remain on the property?

There's your answer.

You should add them to http://www.texas3006.com/

Good point. If the employee manual has wording identical to (A) then be very careful.

SCone wrote: (3) "Written communication" means:
(A) a card or other document on which is written language identical to the following: "Pursuant to Section 30.06, Penal Code (trespass by holder of license to carry a concealed handgun), a person licensed under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code (concealed handgun law), may not enter this property with a concealed handgun"; or
(B) a sign posted on the property that:
(i) includes the language described by Paragraph (A) in both English and Spanish;
(ii) appears in contrasting colors with block letters at least one inch in height; and
(iii) is displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public.

For those of us in this type of field, I anticipate standing firm on the 30.06 thing will wind up costing 50% of our salary by having to change to a completely different field and get on the bottom of the ladder.

Do you have any statistics? I would have guessed companies headquartered elsewhere would be more likely to have a generic no weapons policy and less likely to have valid 30.06 signs. If the policy doesn't meet the 30.06 requirements, it's legal to carry at work. They can end your employment if they catch you but Texas employment is at will so they can end your employment for millions of reasons. Anyhow concealed means concealed.

Everyone's situation is different. If you're grossly overpaid, maybe it's worth staying and thinking of the extra money as hazardous duty pay. My salary is pretty close to market rate for my education and experience so it wouldn't hurt my pay if I changed companies. I see plenty of jobs online and I get frequent emails from recruiters so I don't think it would take me very long to find a new job, and I might even get a raise if I jumped ship. But like I said, everyone's situation is different.

I can get a new job. I can't get a new me.
