However if you DON'T have a Texas CHL then you are violating Federal gun free school zone laws. Also I think there are some obscure Texas Education Code laws regarding guns on campus for non-CHLs but don't have it in front of me so don't want to misquote anything.
Check your student handbook. Again, my non-legal advice understanding is they can't arrest you but they can and will throw you out of school.

With a CHL you should be fine legally with gun in your car (IANAL). But school likely prohibits students/staff to do this via expulsions, job termination etc.
