No. They have lawyers to keep the district from doing something that would get them sued successfully or doing something illegal. Since there is no penalty for posting unnecessary and flawed signs, the lawyer doesn't care.

But PC46.035 requires effective notice under Section 30.06 for hospitals to be prohibited. How can effective 30.06 notice be given at a location where 30.06 has no effect?

I don't mean to sound like I'm just trying to be argumentative or trollish, but I disagree with you. That's my last statement on this unless someone convinces me that I am wrong, when I will admit as much.

Now that I agree with completely! Of course my wife says a head like mine would hurt anybody.

But, PC §46.035(i) states "Subsections (b)(4), (b)(5), (b)(6), and (c) do not apply if the actor was not given effective notice under Section 30.06."

How can effective notice be given under PC §30.06 if PC §30.06 is excepted when the property is owned by a governmental entity? I know PC §30.06(e) says not otherwise prohibited by PC §46.035, but PC §46.035 specifically requires effective notice under PC §30.06 to be off-limits.

I am definitely not a lawyer, but I still don't see how a government-owned hospital can post a binding PC §30.06 sign or other notice. Maybe I'm just stubborn that way.

I'm sorry, but how do you come to that conclusion? For a hospital to be off-limits it must post per 30.06, I agree with. But I see nothing in the code that says it is an exception to 30.06 if the property is owned or leased by a government entity, unless that property is used as a hospital. Unless you're talking about federal property (ie. VA hospitals), but they're not off-limits by Texas law, but by federal law.
