I read the section that txinvestigator posted, and I have on question. Does this mean the university can issue authorization on a case by case basis, or that they can authorize for all CHL holder on the entire campus to carry?

I want to get all my ducks in a row before I reply back to the Chief.

Thanks

I'm no lawyer, but I'd think it would be up to the Univ to decide how to do it. The law doesn't seem to indicate either way. The way I read it anyway

She e-mails me back and says that it isn't just UTD policy.. it's actually TX STATE LAW. I thought it was the exact opposite, that Texas law allowed but most universities did not?

To quote txinvestigator from this thread:
