Unfortunately TABC was less than helpful and even a bit rude when i needed their help once.

I experienced the same thing when I tried to inquire about a vendor making the entire premises off limits at the Travis County expo center.

Wow. This seems like a bad law. How is one supposed to know it's a 51% establishment if they fail to post the sign? On the other hand, I would not carry into a place that had a 51% sign unless I was really sure it was not a 51% establishment.

Happy Holidays.

After first opposing CHL, former Harris County District Attorney Johnny Holmes became a convert and an ardent supporter of CHL's. He testified in an interim study that the lack of a 51% sign should be a defense to prosecution, but it never happened. As someone else mentioned, trying to prove the required mental state (intentionally, knowingly or recklessly) may be difficult without a sign, but not impossible.
