Wow! Great find the texan! Thanks for sharing.

"The Texas Constitution retained the power of common law development in the courts. Texas was never a British colony or an American territory, and the common law came to Texas by adoption rather than by inheritance.....Therefore, the common law of Texas is somewhat unique in origin, and its development has not in all respects coincided with the general course of evolution discernible throughout the United States. "


In all honesty, I did not read all 96 pages but skimmed as quickly as these old eyes would allow. This reaffirms my belief in my decision(as my 5th grade teacher incorrectly predicted), not to explore that avocation when my maturity level evolved, and that I would never achieve the honored position of a Texas lawyer. But to those that have achieved that lofty goal, my hats off to you.

Why are you looking to get past the intent of the store owner?

Why do you assume I'm trying to "get past the intent" of the store owner? I'm just asking whether its legal or not; I have NO intention of violating it either way. Some of you guys just love to throw crap at people. I'm just making conversation here, OK? Keep yer shirt on.

There is no requirement in the law for the sign to be contiguous.

Right, there's not. So I'm just going by the exact language of the law: "A sign ... that includes ... both English and Spanish..." Two signs 30 feet apart isn't exactly "a sign."

Uhhhh, what's the problem here officer? If there are 2 signs, both having the correct wording, as prescribed by statute, uhhhhh, why is there this question? Seems like there's just a feeble attempt to bait somebody into an argument where there's no argument to be had.

I see signs almost daily where ONE sign is a proper 30.06 sign in English, and another 30.06 sign in Spanish.....2 different signs. But boy howdy, it sure gets the point across!

Am I missing something here?
