For example, not every act which might not be in conformity with an applicable legal principle imposes a penalty on whomever committed it. Some legal consequences might not include legal liability.

Here are a couple examples of this from TX firearm related law.
When a law enforcement officer asks for ID from license holder who is carrying, by law, the license holder must present not only whatever ID that was requested, but also the handgun license. Government Code, Sec. 411.205. However, there is no penalty for failing to do so.
On the other side of the equation, employers (with a few exceptions) may not prevent an employee from having a legally possessed gun and/or ammunition in their privately owned, locked vehicle, even if it is parked on company property. Labor Code, Sec. 52.061. However, there is no prescribed penalty for companies who have policies which are not lawful.
