AFAIK, it has never been exercised, and likely wouldn't stand up if challenged unless the park area in question became a prohibited place under some other section. (school event, court, site of an execution, polling place, etc.)

very well may have been the reason for the letter, but I would hope (I know its wishful thinking) that park rangers would adhere to the laws, my bro is an Asst Park Mgr at a state park and he knew about the change in law when it became effective;
In case anyone didn't know, it was policy at all state parks to not allow firearms period and this has caused great confusion, SB501 clears it all up for CHLs

quote from M2:
The TPWD letter was signed in 1998, and according to you, Bill 501 wasn't passed until 2005...

But this is good to know, as I was wondering what the policy was in the city parks in San Antonio.

I was unaware of a letter from 1998, the letter I was talking about was sent out to parks after SB501 was passed, oh well...better to communicate too much rather than not enough!
...as for the city parks, etc.....some of them actually have 30.06 signs on them, which of course are un-enforcable, I've heard of various buildings around the state posted and its not enforcable,
have fun at the park
