Doesn’t look like the National Park Service at Padre Island

I have looked at a few NPS sites to see if they have changed the regulations. Yellowstone and Big Bend have changed the regulations to match the new law 
but it seems the NPS at Padre Island is asleep at the wheel. 
The following can be found at their site.

Firearms
Loaded firearms are strictly prohibited. A Concealed Handgun License issued under the authority of the State of Texas, or another state, is not valid at the National Seashore.
Unloaded weapons may be possessed only when such weapons are rendered temporarily inoperable, or are packed, cased or stored in a manner that will prevent their ready use.
Someone please correct me if they are exempt from the new law.
