    Is Texas like Colorado wherein the signs on a location basically mean nothing other than they can ask you to leave should they find out you have a CCW on you?

    It appears that unlike CO, signs in TX carry force of law...

    Do “No Gun Signs” Have the Force of Law?
    “YES”
    30.06(e) It is an exception to the application of this section that the property on which the license holder
    carries a concealed handgun is owned or leased by a governmental entity and is not a premises or other place
    on which the license holder is prohibited from carrying the handgun under Section 46.03 or 46.035. In order
    to provide notice that entry on property by a license holder with a handgun is forbidden, Penal Code Section
    30.06(c)(3)(A) Trespass By License Holder With a Concealed Handgun.
    (a) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder:

    (1) carries a concealed handgun under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, on
    property of another without effective consent; and
    (2) received notice that entry on the property by a license holder with a concealed handgun was forbidden.
    (3) "Written communication" means:
    (A) a card or other document on which is written language identical to the following: "Pursuant to
    Section 30.06, Penal Code (trespass by license holder with a concealed handgun), a person licensed
    under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code handgun licensing law), may not enter this
    property with a concealed handgun"; or
    (B) a sign posted on the property that:
    (i) includes the language described by Paragraph (A) in both English and Spanish;
    (ii) appears in contrasting colors with block letters at least one inch in height; and
    (iii) is displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public.

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    No, Texas is not like Colorado, they have a legally binding sign format that gives the force of law behind the sign. Don't meet the format and then yes, it's like Colorado in that the signs don't have the force of law.

    The must be a certain size, contain certain working and must be placed in certain places.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.
