Re: Parking Lot Legal/Illegal?

{TEX}Hawaii 99, the most relevant sections of the Texas Penal Code to review would be Chapter 46 (Weapons), particularly Sections 46.03 (Places weapons prohibited) and 46.035 (Unlawful carrying of handgun by license holder), and Section 30.06 (Trespass by holder of license to carry concealed handgun).

That is correct; in 18 USC Chapter 44 (Firearms), school is defined as:
18 USC § 921. Definitions
(a) As used in this chapter—
(26) The term “school” means a school which provides elementary or secondary education, as determined under State law.
The relevant section for the Gun-Free School Zones Act is 18 USC § 922(q); I have never heard of it being used to prosecute someone carrying on an out-of-state license.
