The Texas3006.com web site also says the signs are invalid. Who do we need to contact to get them to obey the law? It burns me up. If a place is legally posted, okay. That's the law. But it irritates me to no end when municipalities blatantly disregard the law.

The Texas AG has said, that when a public building is leased to a private firm, the firm can legally post. It hasn't been tried in court (good luck on becoming the first case), but that's the AG's written opinion.

I think the same AG opinion also states that while the private firm can post the signs (or at least they can't be penalized if they do), the signs are not enforceable since it's city-owned property.

Maybe not criminally enforceable, but it will be hard to get past a metal detector...

Maybe but what grounds could they use to exclude you?
