True and I've dealt with both but unlike most I've had extensive contacts with LEO's from all over the state over the last 30-40 years so I have a much larger sample to measure by.

Re: Prohibiting signage at court houses
Lots of good comments above.
For what it's worth I've dealt with and taught cops from all over the state for decades so let me offer this.
Big city Chiefs are largely appointed based on liberal/progressive leanings because that's the political leanings of the city gov'ts that appoint them.
I've met very few DPS officers that are anti civilian gun ownership or carry. There may be a handful but I have yet to find them.
I've met zero Sheriffs or deputies in Rural Texas that are at all opposed to civilian ownership or licensed carry I do know that one in Hamilton County has had some Issues but I've never interacted with him. I have interacted with some of his deputies and Hamilton Locals that were all straight up pretty good guys.
From what I've seen, there are some Houston Area Constables and DC's that are about half Nazi when it comes to civilian carry and they definitely need an attitude change and retraining.
I've also dealt with DPS instructors, DFW area cops/deputies, a lot of the guys out in West Texas and a few from Austin all of which were great to deal with in every way.
For just about all of us our perceptions are based on our experiences. For those who've had negative experiences I feel for ya but please, try not to extend those perceptions beyond the few cops you've interacted with or read about online.
