PC §46.035(b)(4) says that CHL holders cannot carry weapons in hospitals.

PC §46.035(i) says that hospitals are not off-limits unless posted with a 30.06 sign. This clause was added several years after 46.035 was originally passed into law.

PC §30.06(e) says
It is an exception to the application of this section that the property on which the license holder carries a 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.
My brain hurts.

It's actually simple, like Steve explained: the CHL wouldn't be charged with PC 30.06 "Trespass by a license holder", but with PC 46.035 "Unlawful carry by a license holder".

PC 30.06(e) makes 30.06 inapplicable in government buildings. It doesn't affect 46.035.
