Actually, I will bet you would lose in a court case as it being compliant. It says the sign must include the language, but does not say it can't include other words or even another sign. It also doesn't say it has to be on one piece of sign board.
Really. Heck I've seen signs that separate the english and spanish and I've never heard of this argument before. Then there is the fact that when you apply vinyl to glass each letter is separate, the argument is astounding. I mean sure if you have to go to court you try any argument that might work no matter how big of a long shot but to think that it's likely ..........
I have seen this sign in separate picture frames hanging side by side on walls. I have seen the English version on one side of the door and the Spanish on the other. I have seen this sign in English only. I have seen it in English and Spanish on one sign that met the exact requirements. The law is specific to the sign.

Why do you think that?
I, myself would have stopped reading after the first line where it stated it was about the alcohol and beverage code.
Careful. If you would walk past that sign and were somehow discovered you could loose your CHL. I would hope that my eyes would have been drawn to a few of the familiar elements of the sign and I would have recognized it.
This is why I question the validity... If the intent of the law was to make a standard sign that is easily recognizable by those who carry, then this sign appears to not follow that intent. The idea was for the sign to stick out and not be missed by the CHL holder. I probably would have stopped reading after the first line as well, as it appears to not apply to a CHL holder.

But, it does seem to meet the wording of the law... can't have it both ways, if we hold them to the standard set by the law, then the same standard applies for us as well...
To me, by having it as part of an alcohol sigh, and the way it is run together,it is not conspicuous. Also, 30.06 requires a sign in both English and Spanish. The spanish version if the sign is on a different sign which is allowed for the alcohol but not the 30.06.

Has anyone asked TABC if that is a valid sign?

A $0.25 coin is .952 inches in diameter. So hold one up to the sign when you take the picture for reference. All the lettering must be larger than the coin.
