Please ask the DPS to correct the following errors in their FAQ:

FAQ question #34 is incorrect:

34. I am a Texas Concealed Handgun License (CHL) holder. Are there any places where I cannot carry my concealed handgun?
Yes. §46.035, Texas Penal Code prohibits carrying of handguns and other weapons in certain places. These include but are not limited to:

On the premises of a business that derives 51% or more of its income from the sale or service of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption
On the premises where a high school, collegiate, or professional sporting or interscholastic event is taking place
On the premises of a correctional facility
On the premises of a hospital or nursing home (unless licensee has written authorization)
In an amusement park
On the premises of a church, synagogue, or other place of worship
At any meeting of a governmental entity

The law was amended as follows:

(i) Subsections (b)(4), (b)(5), (b)(6), and (c) do not apply
if the actor was not given effective notice under Section 30.06.
(j) Subsections (a) and (b)(1) do not apply to a historical
reenactment performed in compliance with the rules of the Texas
Alcoholic Beverage Commission.
(k) It is a defense to prosecution under Subsection (b)(1)
that the actor was not given effective notice under Section
411.204, Government Code.

Therefore, hospitals, amusement parks, places of worship and governmental meetings MUST place 30:06 signs or it is legal to carry. It is also legal to carry in a 51% establishment which is not properly signed.

I also sent the same message to DPS on their contact page.

I was there when he told his class that even if 30.06 signs are posted somewhere, one could only be arrested if the owner verbally told you to leave and you refused.

His past may be relevant. The slander of his good name is not. I find it beyond incredible that a Bronze Star recipient can be made fun of for receiving the Bronze Star and his problems with PTSD (real or not) can be the subject of ridicule. It is beyond disgusting, and it sickens me to read it. The man is a highly decorated Master Sergeant. Anyone who has been in the service knows that you don't get to that level of rank without a lot of hard word and admirable service. Criticize him for his blogging or for some of the antics he has engaged in. Criticize him for his choice of tactics in crusading for OC in Texas. But leave his service out of it or at least deal with it honestly. Making fun of his Bronze Star is well outside the bounds of responsible criticism. Making fun of his claims of PTSD is even more so. And the people on this board who have repeated these slanders have disappointed me greatly. I thought we were above that.

Even if it were true that the information I've read about CJ Grisham is incorrect, much of what he has done since in terms of OC demonstration is nuts. I still would not want him to be in charge of such an organization. whatever else he is or is not, he IS a firebrand, and that scares the very people who need to be convinced of the rightness of the cause.
