GC §411.203.
RIGHTS OF EMPLOYERS.
This subchapter does not prevent or otherwise limit the right of a public or private employer to prohibit persons who are licensed under this subchapter from carrying a concealed handgun on the premises of the business.


PC §30.05. CRIMINAL TRESPASS.
(a) A person commits an offense if he enters or remains on or in property, including an aircraft or other vehicle, of another without effective consent or he enters or remains in a building of another without effective consent and he:
(1) had notice that the entry was forbidden; or
(2) received notice to depart but failed to do so.
(b) For purposes of this section:
(1) "Entry" means the intrusion of the entire body.
(2) "Notice" means:
(A) oral or written communication by the owner or someone
with apparent authority to act for the owner;

Rights of an emplyer are effective if given in any form of communication. If you're told you can't carry over a cup of coffee... that's all that is required.
If you're given notice in a handbook that you can't carry on company proerty or in a company vehicle... that's all that is required.
If your're an employee the Ghostbuster sign is all that it takes to make you in violation of the company's policy and you can be fired. You can't be charged with criminal trespass but you can be fired.

If you're sitting in MickeyD's eating a hamburger and a pimply faced 16 year old comes over to you and request you leave because he caught a glimpse of your weapon, then you have to leave because that kid is an employee acting in behalf of that restraunt. That doesn't mean that you can't go put your weapon in the car and then come back in and VERY POLITELY ask for the manager and explain who you are, and what it means to have a CHL.

The key is being polite!!!

One more thing...
In here in Texas we have the 30.06 sign... no where else but Texas do we have this sign!

In Ohio, for example, the Ghostbuster sign IS THEIR SIGN!

In New Mexico, for example #2, you can't go into ANY store that sells alcohol... PERIOD.
That means you can't go into Wal-Mart in New Mexico, or Safeway, Kroger! Neither can you go into any restraunt that sells alcohol such as Chili's or Red Lobster.

It's very important that you know the rules of the state that you travel to/through.
