    Straight from the TABC's website

    This should clear up any questions about CHL holders and the TABC signs, both outside of restaurants and grocery stores:


    • "All alcoholic beverage retailers must post one of two firearms signs.
      The 51% sign is required to be posted on the premises of establishments where the possession of any concealed weapon is illegal. These are establishments that are licensed to sell alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption whose alcohol sales constitutes more than half of their gross receipts. These signs have 51% in large red letters superimposed over the warning which notes that possession of a concealed weapon on the premises is a felony.
      Establishments licensed to sell alcoholic beverages for off-premise consumption or establishments licensed to sell for on-premises consumption whose alcohol sales are 50% or less of total gross receipts are required to post a sign that warns that the unlicensed possession of a concealed weapon is a felony. The holder of a concealed handgun license may lawfully possess a concealed handgun on these premises.
    • What signs are required to be posted at an off-premises establishment such as a convenience store or grocery store?

      Four signs are required to be posted at an off-premise retail establishment:
      • Weapons Warning Sign: It is unlawful to carry a weapon on the premises unless the person is licensed to carry the weapon under the concealed handgun law.
      • Consumption Warning Sign: It is a crime (misdemeanor) to consume liquor or beer on these premises.
      • Public Interest Information Sign - If you have a complaint about the sale or service of alcoholic beverages in this establishment, please contact the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, PO Box 13127, Austin, Texas 78711-3127, or phone 1-888-THE-TABC.
      • National Human Trafficking Hotline Number (English and Spanish) - WARNING: Obtaining forced labor or services is a crime under Texas law. Call the national human trafficking hotline: 1-888-373-7888. You may remain anonymous.
      The signs are available at the local TABC District Offices."

    1 post, thread over a year old, and the information posted is about signs thsat TABC licensees must display, and has nothing to do with CHLers, nor does it tell what constitutes a violation for a CHLer or the penalty.

    AND the question was covered.
