Yes but I thought for sure that there would be more. I am very surprised that for example, Houston zoo wasn't on there.
Evidently no attorney has asked for an opinion on the zoo's.

There is a pending opinion by the AG requested by Hays county DA Wes Mau to address this issue. Here is a link to Mau's request:
https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/op ... 0051KP.pdf

The Hays county DA claims that the county court house, which is a muti-use building, contains a court. As such, the entire building falls under the prohibition of TPC 46.03(A)(3) (which if true, no 30.06 sign is needed).

If Hays county is successful, SB 273 will become moot. Local governments can designate an office in each building to be "utilized by a court" and thus, the entire building is off-limits per 46.03(A)(3).
This is exactly what they have been doing for the past few years and they are mad because they can be fined for it now. They are acting like the law is something new, when it is not.
