Sign rules below from Government Code. Whether the sign you describe fails go provide "effective notice" per PC 46.035 .... I dunno. "effective notice" is not defined for 51% sign like it is for PC 30.06 sign.Scott Farkus wrote:Along these same lines, are businesses allowed to alter the TABC signs in any way? For example, I noticed a wine bar on Congress Ave. in Austin the other day that had a sign with the language of the 51% sign in the front window, but not the actual numerals "51%". I would assume that this place is in fact a 51% establishment as they are in fact a wine bar that serves only appetizer type food, but why are they allowed to alter the sign?
