+1......To me it means if you have a Texas CHL, you legally can carry on campus.
If you're an armed criminal, however, you may not carry on campus.
Ora decent citizen who is carrying but doesn't have a permit.
...the latter two individuals carry at their own legal risk as they do everywhere they go outside of their own house.

There is no difference between these two people, according to the law.To me it means if you have a Texas CHL, you legally can carry on campus.

It's absolutely meaningless. "Unlicensed carry" is prohibited everywhere, not just on the TTU campus, except for the exemptions created by the leglislature. Such as traveling, or being in a private car (even without a license).
You won't find any case law. The newest version of the law only took effect September 1, so if there have been any convictions, they haven't worked their way through the system yet.
For years, in Texas, we've dealt with the state laws that have criminalized unlicensed carry, but do we have real case law that doesn't involve criminals with the TX supreme court upholding this particular law?
I'm asking because i've yet to find real case law on this and i'm currently trying to explore a lawsuit to decriminalize carrying without a license.
TIA
I was specifically asking about the concealed carry law, not the new traveling exemption.You won't find any case law. The newest version of the law only took effect September 1, so if there have been any convictions, they haven't worked their way through the system yet.

Is this still how the law reads? Prohibited areas include.....
If so, by the wording of that sign, is it giving permission for licensed carry? And if that's the case, what precludes one from carrying in buildings?Code:(1) on the physical premises of a school or educational institution, any grounds or building on which an activity sponsored by a school or educational institution is being conducted, or a passenger transportation vehicle of a school or educational institution, whether the school or educational institution is public or private, unless pursuant to written regulations or written authorization of the institution;
Thanks for the reply Doc. I am still wondering though that if that sign is in fact the school giving written permission for concealed carry on premises, why would one not be allowed to carry into a classroom or any other building that is not a sporting event nor an interscholastic event? I can certainly understand not carrying into a stadium or gymnasium while a sporting event is taking place or into a classroom(portion of a building) where an interscholastic event may be taking place. Am I missing something, or maybe that's exactly what you're saying ? :lol:
that is what I was going with but, I am unsure so I leave the 1911 in the car
