Not to be argumentative, but who cares if the signs are there? Somebody with a CHL should know that 30.06 doesn't apply to a city owned venue, and the carrying of a concealed handgun is only governed by what's in the statute (sports event, school event like a graduation ceremony, the unlikely event they have an execution scheduled or use it as a jail, etc.).
Regarding signs in general… I used to try to correct 51% signs that are posted improperly at various places in Cedar Park. I called TABC 3 or 4 times for places a few years ago, but now I just check the license type and ignore them if it's a "SIGN = BLUE" place.

What legal recourse do we have to get the signs taken down?
Says its owned by the city.
If you read over my prior posts, you can see I have had pretty good success though.
Long story short, call the management office. Play stupid/polite. Do not mention the CHL outright, but ask if it is owned by the city.
(simplified) Once they say it is, tell them that according to the Texas Penal Code that is stated on the sign that they posted, a government entity can not post that sign.
Chances are you will be transferred to their attorney, where you quote PC 30.06, he says he will check it and get back to you. Chances are he won't if you don't keep on top of it.
I keep detailed records of all phone calls, to include date, time, and who I spoke with. I downloaded an app that lets me record phone calls. Using the phone log, I call them every 2 weeks to see if they have an update.
If worse comes to worse, you say accuse them of purposefully intimidating lawful gun owners and misleading the unknowing CHL (which is all true, just try to avoid attack wording until they say they are not going to remove it).
If that fails, message each person on the board or council that supervises that organization.
