Not saying Round Rock PD is bad - I have no reason to say so myself, never had a run in or problem with them of any kind.

However, this whole episode made me a little leery of them viewtopic.php?f=7&t=33331&hilit=round+r ... ice+handog" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Again, not disparaging that agency at all, just passing along the info in above link so everyone can know the story who doesn't already.

When you look up the address 3400 E. Palm Valley Blvd. (actually search only 3400 Palm Valley because of search engine bugs) on the Williamson County Appraisal District web site it comes back with NINE different owners (including city of Round Rock twice)

You have to remember that the CAD is in the appraisal business for tax purposes. There are two types of property in the Tax Code, real property and personal property. Real property is the real estate (land) and any improvements that are attached to it (buildings, etc.). Personal property is the removable stuff that is used to produce income - furniture, tools, equipment, inventory, etc.

The city is the only owner of any real property at that address, so they own the land and the buildings.

Great point, Steve. I didn't even think to look at the details on all the other tax entities listed on 3400 Palm Valley, but you're correct they're all for "business personal property" .... so I'd say that makes it relatively definitive (as far as we're going to make it with Google Fu) that Dell Diamond is government owned real property.

Is Dell Diamond owned by the city/county or is it owned by the Ryan family (can't remember off top of my head)?

If it's government owned, then no one can legally exclude you from carrying inside, but good chance someone with apparent authority will try to do so anyway. If it's privately owned, same 30.06 rules apply as with any private property.

For what it's worth, I attended the opening concert at Cedar Park Center (George Strait) and carried an LCP in my pocket the whole time. Carried there for the circus too. Have not been to a hockey game there. Only time I've been to Dell Diamond was for a baseball game, so obviously didn't carry (and didn't notice any signage either).

EDITED TO ADD:

So who knows? Obviously the city owns a huge chunk of that real estate, but which chunk? And how does that apply to the exception found in PC 30.06(e)?
