The statute says they can post a meeting of a government entity, but does not specify where the sign should be, so kind of a gray area.

On courts, if a court or office of the court is in the building at all, then if it is not cordoned off from the rest of the area where it is segmented, then you can't go into the portion of the building period, posted or not, as it is always off limits whether in session or out.

Still curious what is to stop a city from just being plain more restrictive than the state with their conceal carry laws.

It's called preemption. See this link where it states a municipality cannot adopt a law preempting the state law http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/D ... LG.229.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Again, trying to learn something here. Says who? Where is this in print?

This is a very small building. It might have only three rooms to it. I have never seen a police car out front. Most go here to drop off bill payments (water) that they forgot to mail. I think this is where residents also go for permits, but I might be mistaken.

Read TPC 30.06. Google and the search on here is your friend.

So I can only assume they posted the sigh because of the meetings advertised on the door. But shouldn't that only count when the meeting is actually going on?

That is correct. They can post a meeting of a government entity, but not other times. However, is there possibly a municipal court in there also? If so, then it and the offices of the court would be off-limits.
