30.06/30.07 Statute Changes - Sept 2019
Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2021 2:31 pm
Back at that time, I was glad to see the new sub-item (g) addition to this Texas law 30.06/30.07 that basically says (and I paraphrase..): 'a defense to prosecution of a violation of this section is if a LTC holder is verbally notified and then promptly leaves the property'.
I've had some conflicting discussions with several of my Texas friends, and some lawyers, about the practical aspects of this in light of Texas being a 'signage has force of law' state.
My question to all of you here, now that it's been a year+ since passage of this: How has this new subsection been actually implemented and handled by LEO for instances when a LTC holder claims not to have seen the signage, is discovered and verbally told to leave? Technically, my understanding is you risk arrest even in that situation but how has/is this really being handled by LEO in Texas? Any cities or businesses more 'forgiving' than others?
Great resource here! Just stumbled across it and will be referencing often. Thank you all.
