The Legislature can pass bills and the Governor can sign them, but they do not enforce themselves.
The responsibility for enforcing the law at the local level falls mainly to the county district attorney.
Oh, yeah. Right.
If the DA doesn't do his job, the task falls to one or more citizens whose rights have been infringed to file a lawsuit and get an injunction. That's what happened with most City of Houston facilities, like the airports. It takes money and someone willing to put forth the effort.
I don't know if the state Attorney General can do anything about these issues. Mr. Abbott has generally been on our side, but he hasn't touched this one, AFAIK.

Re: Toyota Center?
Most likely.
I think most CHL holders would say something to their palm and go back to their car when they saw the metal detectors.

Re: Toyota Center?
At last report it is posted, it is owned by the city of Houston, and they don't care about the law.
They have metal detectors at some events.
