I don't think you understand the law. It doesn't ban selectively. It bans everyone. Unless you have a license, you are already banned from carrying. The signs add licensed carriers to the list of those that are banned. So everyone is banned. Only people who are lawbreakers will enter regardless of the signs, but lawbreakers will also enter when there is no sign. What we have to do is get businesses to understand that we are not a threat to them, the unlicensed lawbreakers are. Recently I saw Scarborogh state (on MSNBC no less!) that gun free zones are insane. So we're making headway. We just need to keep working to get people to understand who the real threat is.

It occurs to me that some folks, who might not be from Texas originally, are unfamiliar with Texas folks' views on property. Down here property is sacrosanct. Removing trespassing laws from property law is an exceedingly tough sell. Perhaps, in another decade or two, when we're overrun by illegal aliens and other leftists, that will change. Lord knows it's changed nationally. Property rights are rapidly receding under a tide of leftist propaganda.
