The requirement as stated in 30.06 is specific that notice must be either oral or written and also goes further to define what written must include. And we are also aware that a sign has to have certain physical characteristics.

If you are licensed under Art. 4413(29ee), TEXAS CIVIL STATUTES , then don't carry in there, the sign prohibits it !!!
I personally was licensed under CHAPTER 411, GOVERNMENT CODE, so I'm ok.
However, you were given verbal notice now so ...

Does a gf telling you that her boss said he does not want employees or clients (of which he is neither) ccing in the building constitute verbal notice? Not saying that he should carry, but I don't see how this meets the legal requirements for verbal notice.

Even though I am a manager at my company I've been told I have no authority to enforce company policy with regards to security issues. The COO has told us all that security is everyone's responsibility, but when I ask to see someone's company ID, that wasn't displayed, and I didn't recognize them a complaint was made to HR and it trickled to my boss. He told me not to do that again and just notify security. A couple of our "security" folks required canes to get around and can't use the stairs. They have to use the elevator. A few more probably got this job after their retirement funds dwindled away with the market last year.
