The City Council meeting room doubles as our court, EDB / P&Z / public hearing chambers, too. So my other question would be defining a court room. If you hold court once a month in a conference room, is it now permanently deemed a court room and off limits for carry?

Here is the statute. Subsection (c) is overridden in (i) below, just like hospitals, churches, and amusement parks and says they must post a 30.06 sign.

(c) A license holder commits an offense if the license
holder intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries a handgun
under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code,
regardless of whether the handgun is concealed, at any meeting of a
governmental entity.
(i) Subsections (b)(4), (b)(5), (b)(6), and (c) do not apply
if the actor was not given effective notice under Section 30.06.

Chief of Police for the city I used to work for informed me it was illegal to carry within the meetings.

Here's my thing, you cannot legally notify a CHL holder of 30.06 since it is a null factor in government buildings, correct? Want to cover my bases before I carry into something of the sort. Don't want to be a test case.

Only if posted with a 30.06.

Considering government functions tend to take place in State / City / County owned buildings, 30.06 is invalid anyways.

Legally I've been informed you CANNOT carry to things like City Council meetings, EDB, Court Hearings, P&Z, School Board meetings, etc. Check me on it...

Also, any government functions are off limits, i.e. City Council, Planning and Zoning, school board meetings, EDB, etc.
