So, I was a bit confused also, as the original post really centered on school security, but the discussion (and my interest) is focused on church security. Just to make sure I understand, the point at which a CHL would not be allowed to carry is when:
1. He joins into any type of organized group providing anything resembling security, with or without disaster-response plans. "Anything resembling security" would include monitoring the parking lot but would not include teaching Sunday School or taking offering, for example.

So, I guess there could be "parking lot greeters" who are not organized for any type of security but just to greet people, direct them where to park, assist older folks and all that, and if there are no disaster-response plans and no discussion whatsoever of CHL possession, no discussion of carrying of firearms, and no discussion of security ever, they would still be okay to perform this function and if any of them are CHLs, would not be prohibited from carrying during this activity.

Is that accurate?

(And sorry for the 1 item list; my h.s. grammar teacher is coming after me now!)

After the class, I reached out to a friend that is a Tarrant County DA who said that its illegal but that he had never prosecuted anyone under any similar charges.

Would be a great public service if you were to find a way to politely inform those two public servants of the entire law. One of your CHL brothers may be in danger of being falsely arrested/prosecuted by them in their ignorance. Surely the DA would look up and read the whole law before going for a prosecution, but just the same... The officer might be best approached through the chain of command because if he thinks it, there are likely several other in his department that share the same misconception.
