No, I think he says that he can't find any records that would prevent a CHL holder from entering the premises.

You have to decide beyond that if you're good to go or not.

Thanks for translating...

Here's the deal..... If I am asking this question, I answer it in two parts.... maybe 3..
1. Who owns the building?... If it's city or state owned, it SHOULD not be posted. Sometimes it is... For example, if a school owned it, it would be posted. If it was otherwise explicitly prohibited by law (see CHL-16), it could be posted... What I see for this location is that it's a theater, owned by the city of Dallas... that falls in the "should not be posted and if it is I need to question the validity of posting" category.

2. Does the premises have a liquor license and if yes, is it Red (CHL prohibited) or Blue (CHL ok). In this case, TABC shows no liquor licenses issued for this address.

3. Even if 1 and 2 come up "CHL should be ok", it still might be posted anyway... or there might be metal detectors on site... or who knows what..

So..... from what I can see CHL should be ok... but.. you would be more certain if somebody chimed in and said "i was there last week and it was not posted", or something similar.. I cannot say for certain that it's ok to CHL, but if I was going to the Majestic, I would carry and I would look for signs or other prohibitions that did not come up in my search.. Your mileage may vary.

Yes.. owned by the City of Dallas.

The Hoblitzelle Foundation gifted the Majestic to the City of Dallas in January 1976. After major restoration, the Theatre reopened on January 28, 1983 as a performing arts venue.

Currently used by national promoters to present performing arts events, concerts and comedy shows, the Theatre is also available for corporate meetings, nonprofit fundraisers and private functions. The Majestic Theatre is managed by the City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs.

Looking on TABC web site, I don't see any liquor licenses issued to the theater...
ETA: FYI..
I ran the search first by the name "Majestic" and came up with only liquor stores.
Then I searched the location "195 Elm St, Dallas" and got " ***No Records Found*** "
