You're right - individuals and businesses can put up any sign they want, but there should be a penalty for cities/counties that put up unauthorized signs in contravention of the law. So the first step would be to make those signs illegal.Scott Farkus wrote:Now cities/counties doing it, that's a totally different story. This should be illegal if the building does not contain a court or any of the other stipulated exceptions, and there needs to be penalties imposed on the appropriate officials. I believe I read somewhere that Florida imposes a $5000 fine on any official that allows their version to be put up when it's not authorized. But as of now, as far as I know, Texas has no such prohibition or penalty, so there would be no grounds for a lawsuit. There should be, but there's not.

Re: Cities improperly posting 30.06 signs?
Has anyone successfully sued a person/business/govt. agency for posting an illegal sign? It seems to me that lawsuits are the way to get people to wake up and stop doing something. Maybe the Texas Rifle Association could fund a lawsuit. One successful suit would bring down all these signs.Glenn61 wrote:If these people are going to be allowed to post fake signs--then law enforcement should be told not to take them seriously. Maybe the state should make these people/businesses apply (and pay a good amount of money) for a license to legally put the sign on their store window--just like we have to apply, get refresher training and pay to get/keep a license.
