Effective Consent

#1

Post by aardwolf »

What does "effective consent" mean in the trespassing laws?

If access is controlled and the person controlling access to a property (ticket taker, security guard, courtesy officer, Wal-Mart greeter, bouncer, butler, etc.) knowingly allows you in, do you have effective consent?

What if they also know you have a handgun and still they allow you in, do you have effective consent for 30.06?

If a person of "authority" gives permission/access, then the wearer is OK.

If it's 30.06 posted, then I would say one would need it in writing.

Texas Penal Code
