I would draft a short letter for him, saving him some time.... and ask him to print/sign it on school letterhead. Not only does this give you a clear authorization, but if the person who authorized you leaves for greener pastures, you have signed authorization that should still be valid until revoked. No need to go begging to the new guy.
"This letter authorizes __________________________ to carry a concealed weapon on campus, including into buildings, facilities and all school-related events. This authorization shall continue until revoked in writing, as long as ___________________________ maintains a Concealed Handgun License that is valid in the state of Texas.
Signed
John Smith
Headmaster"
(Or something like that.... I am not a lawyer, this is my OPINION, not legal advice)
If the current granting authority leaves the school, I would think that the permission goes away since they are no longer in a position of authority at the school. But getting it in writing is still a good idea.
