I filed the complaint against the City for the Museum (actually the Omni Theater) and the letter from the AG was just regurgitating the opinion regarding the zoo. It effectively said that, since the City wasn't posting the sign, they were not violating the law. However, the actual AG opinion also stated that, since it was government property, the AG's opinion was that the 30.06 posting was not valid.

It will probably require a test case unless the Legislature fixes it this session.

The City of Lamesa soon will be posting signs at entrances into City Hall to prohibit the carrying of handguns or other firearms – open or concealed – in a large portion of the ground floor level of that building.
A resolution to that effect was approved by the Lamesa City Council in a 5-1 vote on Tuesday evening with Council member Chance Britt casting the only negative vote.
...
The area of City Hill where guns will be prohibited is that area west of the glass partition, which separates administrative offices from the open central area where municipal court and City Council meetings are held. The area affected by the resolution will include the hallway that leads from the front doors of City Hall to the payment window for the water department.

Their reasoning for the ban is that they occasionally conduct municipal court in that large open area where city council meetings are held. We have a separate court building down the street, so this is not the regular courthouse. For some reason I have it in my head that if it is only being used as a court sometimes, they cannot post it all the time. Am I correct?

Is this something I should address, or do they seem to be in accordance with the law here?

I find the AG letter to Brazos County earlier this year, and several others were reported as having been sent letters.

Complaints are about to be filed here, and I wonder if anything ever happens.
