A few days later I got a message from the nurse which said that "Texas law prohibits concealed carry in medical facilities. Medical facilities are required to post this at the entrance of the facility. The entrance to the medical facility has never posted it (is a violation)."

As we know, the statement that Texas law prohibits carry in medical facilities and they must be posted is wrong. Entry by LTC is ok in a hospital, medical facility, or any other private premises...unless they properly post 30.06/07 to keep LTC off premises. (On hospitals, see ScottLDS on penal code 46.035(i) above.)

The office management is confused. Medical facilities and hospitals are open to LTC unless posted. And the building has been posted in the past.
Bottom line is if they don't post then LTC is ok.

I'm thinking on the best way to correct their understanding...or not even bother since it seems they are going to keep the 30.06 and 3.07 signs no matter what.
If you look up 46.03 section 11 you will see that the wording has changed, it no longer denotes that it must be posted.

Here is the link to the most recent laws. Go to page 90.
https://www.dps.texas.gov/internetforms ... LTC-16.pdf
Now I'm confused. Sec. 46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER, (b)(i) on page 98 says "Subsections (b)(4), (b)(5), and (c) do not apply if the actor was not given effective notice under Section 30.06 or 30.07." Subsection (b)(4) is the same as 46.03 subsection 11. So what is it? Can someone please clarify this for me.
