This is the kind of crap that leads to all of the confusion. The DPS instructor has no authority to tell anyone to assume a English only is legal. IT MAY VERY WELL BE LEGAL but that has not been determined yet and the DPS instructor is not the source of of that info. You couldn't know that at the time and he has an air of authority but he was out of line by telling anyone in a class what they can assume and not assume about these statutes unless he can show documentation supporting it.

I took his comment to be to assume the Spanish is legal since there is no definite version of the Spanish. *But* there were comments made that showed they believe the intent of the sign is enough. One instructor stated that a license holder had been convicted of carrying past a gun buster sign. I wasn't able to talk to him to get more details.

You may remember I asked twice that because the signs lack of Spanish therefore they were "illegal" signs. They never answered the question.
