We should tweak the law to where once a formal complaint is made to the OAG, then the municipality gets a letter telling them to remove or cover the sign during the review process, and will be subject to the penalty of the "official oppression" statute if they don't. Then they can take months and months to make a final determination and can then uncover or repost the sign if they are found to be compliant, or permanently remove it if they are not. How hard is that?
Not hard at all. In fact, why don't you jump in and do that one yourself next session? It's so easy, you don't need experience or influence.

Rotor, you are correct about Sen. Estes. He's one of the strongest voices for Texas gun owners and a true champion of the Second Amendment. However, when a law need tweaking, you first go to the primary sponsor in the House or Senate, whichever version of the bill passed. This would be Sen. Donna Campbell (SB273), another strong voice for gun owners.

Fines-for-signs is not dead or even on its death bed. It has a minor cold that can be fixed.

she's been a fairly strong voice for gun owners, yes. But right now she's got homeschoolers out for her throat, some are starting to question her conservatism.
No, she hasn't been a "fairly strong voice for gun owners." She's been rock solid and worked as hard for us as anyone. I don't know anything about the homeschool issue and Sen. Campbell, but they won't cost her election nor block any of her gun bills. (I'm a strong supporter of homeschooling.)
