IANAL, but it was explained to me this way:
The applicable law is Texas Penal Code section 30.06 and the sign must contain the following in letters at least 1" in height and in both English and Spanish:
"PURSUANT TO SECTION 30.06, PENAL CODE (TRESPASS BY HOLDER OF A LICENSE TO CARRY A CONCEALED HANDGUN) A PERSON LICENSED UNDER SUBCHAPTER H, CHAPTER 411, GOVERNMENT CODE (CONCEALED HANDGUN LAW), MAY NOT ENTER THIS PROPERTY WITH A CONCEALED HANDGUN."
"CONFORME A LA SECCIÓN 30.06 DEL CÔDIGO PENAL (TRASPASAR PORTANDO ARMAS DE FUEGO) PERSONAS CON LICENCIA BAJO DEL SUB-CAPITULO H, CAPITULO 411, CODIGO DE GOBIERNO (LEY DE PORTAR ARMAS), NO DEBEN ENTRAR A ESTA PROPIEDAD PORTANDO UN ARMA DE FUEGO."
Any other sign may or may not represent the true desires of the building's owners/operators (some merchants put up some kind of "no guns" sign to reassure their uninformed customers while knowing that it does not carry the force of law).
I stand ready to be corrected, if necessary, and learn better.
Best,
Will
