The relevant portions:
§ 9-6-1 DEFINITIONS.

In this chapter:

(B) The notice posted under this section shall include a statement, in English and Spanish, to read substantially as follows:

A person may not enter these premises while carrying a concealed or unconcealed firearm. A person who enters these premises carrying a firearm may be subject to prosecution under Section 30.05 (Criminal Trespass) of the Texas Penal Code.
Also, I know y'all aren't going to be happy (neither was I) about the 30.05 signs the city manager is supposed to put outside of city buildings. It's unenforceable, but it's on the books, so any CHL-holders in "violation" will probably beat the rap but not the ride (IANAL).
Wait a second. Aren't we talking about the premises of a school here? 30.05 may or may not be the correct statute you would be violating, but you or any CHLee surely can be prosecuted for carrying a weapon on school premises.
