Texas 51% rule bars

Strange situation here. I frequent a bar that used to be a restaurant downstairs. The restaurant is no more (6 months at least) and the upstairs patio is the only part of the building open for business. I know for a fact that 90% of income comes from alcohol sale/consumption on the premises as they literally serve nothing else, no food, some cigars but small quantities.

I think they just haven’t added it, but there is no 51% sign listed ANYWHERE. Asked a lawshield partnered attorney and he/she said as a CC license holder, the burden of disclosure/warning is on the bar/business not on me.

Would you feel comfortable carrying in this situation? Sounds like still a legal uphill battle if you had to use in it in this situation when they’re clearly a bar right?

How long is lead time

I know this gets asked ad nauseam. I submitted all my documents last month and haven’t seen the checklist populated. I called a few weeks ago and they said they’ve received everything. How long can I expect to wait

Update: just got the checklist in (background check pending)

Update: print pending

It's been 3 weeks since I submitted my LTC-104 form. Did both classroom and shooting proficiency in one place by one instructor. Does processing LTC-104 usually take this long?

Edit: Progress Moved to Background Check as of 4/22/2026

Edit 2: Background Check Completed, Print Pending as of 4/23/2026
