Texas 30.06 and 30.07 Signs Explained is essential reading for anyone who carries a handgun in Texas, whether under a License to Carry (LTC) or permitless carry.
Misunderstanding signage laws is one of the most common ways otherwise law-abiding Texans accidentally violate carry statutes—especially in cities like San Antonio where posted properties are common.
What Are Texas 30.06 and 30.07 Signs?
Texas law allows private property owners to prohibit handgun carry by posting specific signage that meets legal requirements.
- 30.06 signs prohibit concealed carry
- 30.07 signs prohibit open carry
These signs are authorized under the Texas Penal Code and must meet strict formatting rules to be enforceable.
Legal Requirements for Valid 30.06 and 30.07 Signs
For signage to be legally binding, it must:
- Contain exact statutory language
- Be in both English and Spanish
- Use contrasting colors
- Display block letters at least one inch high
- Be clearly visible at entrances
If any requirement is missing, the sign may not be enforceable—but relying on technicalities is risky.
How These Signs Affect LTC vs Permitless Carry
30.06 and 30.07 signs apply to everyone, including LTC holders.
However, LTC holders often have:
- Better understanding of signage law
- Clearer legal footing
- Training that emphasizes avoidance rather than confrontation
Training focuses on compliance and discretion, not testing boundaries.

San Antonio has:
- A large number of private venues
- Event spaces and entertainment districts
- Restaurants and mixed-use properties
This makes signage awareness especially important for daily carriers.
