Since the 51% sign only applies to CHL holders and was passed as part of the CHL law, the requirement for it is in the Government Code, section 411.204. The Alcoholic Beverage Code was amended to only require the non-licensed possession sign if they were not required to post the 51% sign.

That's what I saw. Since it was an appendix attached to the TABC rules, I thought it was part of the TABC.

I guess that's one of the many confusing parts to which is referred.

Well I just cruised the the TABC website looking for a sign and couldn't find one.

I found in the code where a sign is required but I never found where the code gave the text like it does with the 30.06 sign. I did searches for “51%”, “51 percent”, and “handgun” within the Alcoholic Code document and the sign text never showed itself. I’m sure it’s there somewhere and I’m missing it.

The other thing I noticed that the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code is a crazy piece of legislation. My dad used to run with the TABC gendarmes and I remember him telling me that the Texas Alcohol laws were a crazy collection of regs and he always had to go on faith that they made sense to someone.

Anyway, the TABC website has some signs that can be downloaded but the 51% sign isn’t one of them.

I guess you figured that out already or you wouldn't be asking.
