I work in the auditors office at a county in texas. I am and have been very interested in obtaining my CHL. I have read that one cannot carry at local courthouses and etc. Is this true if there are no signs up restricting it? I also cant find anything that clearly states the do and dont to carrying a concealed handgun. Any help with these issues would be great.

No to courthouse carry, period. This is a good place to start check with DPS and their CC Office.

Here is the website for Texas CHL. You can read through it and look at the Attorney General's opinions.
When I traveled to Ohio, I read the code and called the attorney General's office for clarification. I got a quick response and made a decision based on their advice.
Reading it for yourself is the best way to know what's in it.

Places off-limits when carrying:
Handguns and other weapons cannot be carried at schools or on school buses, at polling places, in courts and court offices, at racetracks, at secured airport areas or within 1,000 feet of the premises of an execution on the day of execution. The law also specifically prohibits handguns from businesses where alcohol is sold if more than half of their revenue is from the sale of alcohol for on premises consumption, and from locations where high school, college, or professional sporting events are taking place. You man not carry handguns in hospitals or nursing homes, amusement parks, places of worship or at government meeting if signs are posted prohibiting them. Businesses also may post signs prohibiting handguns on their premises based on criminal trespass laws. See Texas Penal Code 46.032. (Judges, prosecuting attorneys, peace officers and parole offices should consult Texas Penal Code 46.15 regarding exemptions from the “no-carry” rules of the Penal Code.)
