This one from http://www.mystatesman.com/news/news/lo ... dgun/nsC89 says:

“There is no Texas statute that instructs Plaintiffs that they are acting illegally if they instruct their students that they may not bring guns into their classrooms,” their lawyers wrote. Nor do the policies adopted by UT President Gregory L. Fenves prohibit faculty members from exercising a gun-banning option, they added.

Is it just me or is there also no Texas statute that instructs students that they are acting illegally if they ignore professors instructions that they may not bring guns into their classrooms???

Heck, it's not even illegal to bring your weapon into areas of campus restricted by policy that are not otherwise restricted by law (ex. Sporting event). It is only enforceable by school policy.
