Thanks, guys, for the input. I called the campus police who told me that as long as my car was locked and the weapon was concealed, it was OK. I asked if this was in writing anywhere, and they said it's in the Texas Education Code. Anyone know the relevant section? The annoying thing, though, is that on the University police website it says something opposite: "Current law prohibits the possession of all firearms on the premises of an educational institution...A weapon in your vehicle constitutes possession for the purposes of the policy." But is that even a legal/enforceable policy? I don't want to break any laws, but at the same time I want to know what my legal rights are.

As far as the 1,000 ft from grounds thing, I'll have to ask them about that, too. Can someone please reference the section that's in, too?

Thanks again,
Clark

I have a CHL and go to a University nearly every day and park in a parking garage which is accessed by either a hang-tag or pay-by-hour ticket (but I'm not a student or staff, just basically a volunteer). Is a parking garage considered the same as a parking lot, or is it considered "premise" (school building)? My plan would be to lock my gun in my car.

A second question I have: what "school related functions" (or whatever the language is) would prevent me from even having a gun in my car just driving through campus? If there's a collegiate sports game on campus that day, can I not even have a gun in my car, because I'd be within 1000 feet of it?
