Evidently a CCW shot the shooter, second guy ran out of the mall shooting others.

And here you go: Media pointing the story to make the CCW holder look like the bad guy for breaking the mall no gun policy.....lets ignore the fact that armed robbers killed someone and analyze the guy that reacted and made the robbers flee and broke the sacred no gun policy. What about the bad guys that brought guns in?

Stop making good sense ACE2GOOD; liberals minds must continue to devolve.

If the CCWer slowed or decreased the ability of the bad guys to project violence and harm people then he made a positive difference and (IMHO) is a hero. He likely saved some lives. RIP.

The attempt for media to blame him only reinforces what most of us know; the news is not "news" but Leftist propaganda. They would rather give a bad guy free reign to murder innocent people than admit their fail on gun control. Most of us also know why that is (political goals and such).

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.

Which leads to the next question (which we cannot answer here): did they follow this at the mall and can they prove he would have seen it?

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.

Exactly.
