Sounds like my experience back in '68, finished basic, waited two months then OTS. Finally ended up in a hospital unit where I belonged due to education, best advantage for me and the AF. Stayed 10 years active then another 7 in active reserve with delay in between.

IMO, they are not legal signs at all.
The lettering is not one inch tall.
And more importantly, they do not have the signs posted at each door. I can walk in through the side door and never see a sign.
With that being said, as a college student, I'm a fan of fast food and I love TC so they still get my money. Fortunately, they don't know how to post the proper signage.
A couple words of caution:
1) Don't expect Officer Friendly to be carrying a ruler so he can measure the height of the letters on Taco Cabana's sign(s).
2) The statute doesn't explicitly call for signs at each door, it calls for signs that are "displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public". It sounds like their signs were sufficiently conspicuous to come to your attention.

The ones at Taco Cabana that I've seen are the ones posted at the top of the last page. They have zero bearing on CHL holders.
It's a standard TABC sign that specifically mentions the UNLICENSED posession...

I don't go there so that's on them if they want to have us as customers.
Congrats to your son...and is not only in SA where they love GI's I'm close to Fort Hood and basically the soldiers here make the town. around 55,000 soldiers here. Well right now there is some brigades in Iraq but still an army town.
Been there done that

The signs I've seen at Taco Cabanas (in Austin) were printed on 8.5 x 11 inch paper, and although they had the right wording in English and Spanish the font was 1/4 inch tall at best. Nobody could mistake it for 1 inch block letters, and that means the signs don't qualify as legal notification.
San Antonio isn't too bad with the signs, I've seen worse. So you could look at it this way Taco Cabana has a little 30.06 sign but the food sucks anyways so they just gave me two reasons to not go eat stale tortilla chips and watery mystery queso. I'm curious to know how many CHL's have been issued in Texas thus far and also we should do some kind of boycott against thug friendly businesses also known as "anti-legal citizen zones" all together. I really hate the idea that I can't go into a Dairy Queen and eat a Peanut Buster Parfait with my concealed self defense ONLY .357 Sig but some punk that probably just executed a rival gang member can sit in my spot eating my Peanut Buster Parfait while bragging about his $8,000 64" rims on his 84 buick. /rant

I didn't leave San Antonio because it was inhabited by Mexicans. I left San Antonio for the same reason Mexicans leave Mexico. There is a lesson in there somewhere.

Good for your son..congratulations! Perspectives are formed by experience and if that exposure is brief you really can't judge a city of 1.2 million.
San Antonio is hands down one of the most gun friendly cities in Texas! Gun shops and ranges abound. Want to shoot full auto at a great indoor range? No problem!
Skip Taco Urbana not only for the signs..but the food! Good grief..that's NOT any measure by which Tex Mex should be ascertained! That's fast food..not the home cooked style San Antonio is famous for.
Again, hats off to your son!
