School property postings cannot be enforced beyond the statute as they are government entities - and posting on government property is unenforceable. But there is no such restriction for private entities. They can post wherever they want and then everything beyond the sign is off limits. The "premises" definition you are talking about does limit it to the building - and it is a good thing that it does for exactly that school example - but there is no restriction on private entities from making additional things off limits.

I beg to differ.

Â§ 46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE
Section (f)(3):

(3) "Premises" means a building or a portion of a
building. The term does not include any public or private driveway,
street, sidewalk or walkway, parking lot, parking garage, or other
parking area.

That means they cannot forbid concealed carry (or car storage) in or on any public or PRIVATE parking lot or parking garage. The 30.06 warning applies only to the building, not to any area outside of that building.

Again, criminally, as per the letter of the law, the OP would be ok, he would face no criminal charges. However, as per company policy, and since there is no protection afforded us under the law, the company can fire him for breaking company policy.

I thought parking lots and sidewalks could not be posted, even at schools. Furthermore, I though 30.06 signs applied only to buildings.

So, criminally, you're doing nothing wrong, but since Texas is an "at will" state, you can still be fired if it's against company policy.
