I think you would win on appeal, but at the trial court it is definitely going to depend on the judge. The problem is going to court to begin with, as others have noted.
I think that the law is very clear that the type needs to be at least 1 inch high. Very few DA's in Texas would want to push this. Things like a "conspicuous location", and "contrasting colors" leave a bit of room for interpertation. Phrasing like at "least 1 inch" high do not.
then agin IANAL
