Because it's not illegal to post the signs, they are just unenforceable. The legislature didn't make it illegal to improperly post property with 30.06 signs.
Now, if APD started to actually try to enforce the unenforceable signs, then the AG might be able to issue an opinion on the matter.

Re: AISD signs
Austin Independent School District
The location where I saw the signs was at Anderson High School, but I believe they are all over the district.
A 30.06 would be valid for the building (even though not technically needed), but per the statutes not valid for the parking lot or grounds when no school sponsored activity is occurring. Plano ISD has them also at the entrances to their parking lots. I have tried to get the Collin county DA to confirm that the signs are unenforceable, but they will not commit. It will basically take a test case or AG opinion to show them these are invalid.

AISD signs
There was a long thread back in 2007 about AISD posting their school premises at the parking lot entrances with a sign specifying that all weapons were prohibited, regardless if the individual held a valid CHL. This morning I noticed that they've added compliant 30.06 signs, as well. The consensus is that these signs have no bearing on valid CHL holders, but does anyone know if there have been any test cases? Also, have there been any attempts to get AISD to remove the signs?
