I like the approach of making it a crime only if the individual is asked to leave and refuses. If we go that route, we can eliminate the 30.06 & 30.07 signage altogether along with the offense of "trespass by a license holder." This is the model used successfully by many other states. I agree that we are unlikely to achieve that all at once, but we can chip away at it like we did this session.Charles L. Cotton wrote: There's no way to improve TPC §30.06 unless we were to prohibit businesses from using it on commercial property. That's what I have advocated, but it isn't going to happen, at least not in the foreseeable future. We also are highly unlikely to make it effective only if one refuses a demand to leave. We took a step in that direction with the reduction of the offense to a Class C misdemeanor for inadvertently entering posted property.
