Oklahoma, any "no guns" sign has the force of law.
I think Kansas is the same way, but I am not 100% sure.
Not sure about the other states.

I've never heard of another state that has a statutorily required sign language. They may exist, but I've never heard of one.

South Carolina does.

The South Carolina page has a link to the requirements. Not as detailed as Texas' 30.06.

Kansas doesn't have a statutory requirement, but the AG has published what he calls "appropriate signage":

It's 8x8", IIRC.

Missouri is half-way there on spec'g language. Their law says

"Any private property whose owner has posted the premises as being offlimits to concealed firearms by means of one or more signs displayed in a conspicuous place of a minimum size of eleven inches by fourteen inches with the writing thereon in letters of not less than one inch."

They don't call out the language per se, just the font size. Of course we could argue about legal standing of ghostbuster signs since they don't have any "letters". Noooooooooooooo not that!!!!!!!!!!

Tennessee has specific language that has to be used. For a sign to carry the force of law it must have language that is "substantially similar" to:

"PURSUANT TO § 39-17-1359, THE OWNER/OPERATOR OF THIS PROPERTY
HAS BANNED WEAPONS ON THIS PROPERTY, OR WITHIN THIS
BUILDING OR THIS PORTION OF THIS BUILDING. FAILURE TO COMPLY
WITH THIS PROHIBITION IS PUNISHABLE AS A CRIMINAL ACT UNDER
STATE LAW AND MAY SUBJECT THE VIOLATOR TO A FINE OF NOT
MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500)."

In 2.5 year I have yet to see a sign that met the legal requirements. I see lots of "no weapons" and "no firearms/guns" signs, but they do not carry the force of law so I do not follow them.

The neat thing about Missouri is how forgiving they are on a violation of a prohibited place. If you violate any of the prohibited places, it is not a criminal act, but you may be asked to leave and not allowed back. If you won't leave, then further penalties apply. Here is also a link to the whole prohibited section LINK
