I predict right now that nothing happens and the rodeo powers that be do the exact same thing next year and ignore the law.
I am not disagreeing, just posing the question: If a group is allowed to have amnesia, what is to keep a city from posting a building, getting ten days notice taking the signs down for a day or two and then putting them back up, repeat ad nauseum? Granted, we may simply be dealing with uncharted waters. But lets chart them!

Edit: Granted if no one is ever made to take them down................................................................
that's what the zoo is for
It would be an incredible shame in our supposedly conservative state, with a supposedly conservative AG, that we would have to add penalties for an AG not doing their job. "I'm all about the 2nd amendment until I get into office. Then, meh. Maybe I'll get around to it."

The letter was sent from Zindia Thomas, Assistant Attorney General in the Administrative Law Division.
FINALLY!! Great news TexasCajun! Your efforts paid off. :thumbs2:

The system appears to be working, at least so far. Please keep us informed.
From the looks of things the resolution will be reached just in time to be able to carry after the rodeo is over. Perfect!
At this point everything is a win. If they take the signs down it's a win - not only for whatever remains of this year's event but for future events. If they don't take the signs down, it's still a win because we can go to the legislature next session with improvements to the law.
Agreed. IF the AG takes this seriously enough to act on it, there is no real way for the rodeo committee to claim ignorance next year. TexasCajun, you have done us all a great service. What larger venue could be found to send the message down to the smaller operators and cities? While I am disappointed in the number of cases they seem to be acting on, this is potentially a huge one in terms of precedence.
