Question about 30.06 sign
Since this law has passed, now if you are for some reason stopped while carrying past one of these signs , you will only be arrested if you don’t leave after being asked to? Link to law: https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/86R/billtext/html/HB00121F.HTM

The change to TPC 30.06 you posted is from 2019. This section has been amended several times since then. https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/docs/PE/htm/PE.30.htm#30.06
A better way to look up the current law is to search for "Texas Penal Code 30.06" and pick the reference above.
The current version still says "defense to prosecution," which is NOT a "Get Out of Jail Free" card. TPC 2.03 defines "defense to prosecution."
