most of this will be covered in class ... but the class I took didn't mention anything "Federal"
I learned some in class and a LOT on this forum.
I studied the DPS thingy before class too.. I've never learned much by listenin' ... I'm a reader but it was good that I listened in class ... because all that was on the test was covered plus more.

I thought you can not carry in/around churches? PC §46.035
You can if they are not posted with a proper 30.06 sign (see PC §46.035 (i) )

(i) Subsections (b)(4), (b)(5), (b)(6), and (c) do not apply
if the actor was not given effective notice under Section 30.06.
If I'm carrying in my vehicle and I have CHL do I follow the same procedures as if I dont have CHL?
What does a CHL afford me? Quite a bit ... example ... You can, with a CHL, legally get out and fill your car/truck with gasoline wearing a concealed handgun.... stepping out of a car/truck at a gas station with a concealed handgun without a CHL is generally not legal (unless you own/reside at the gas station etc) Also, you can legally be carrying in a school zone with a CHL, and the 1,000 feet Federal school restriction doesn't apply after you have a CHL from the state where the school is located
If I'm carrying in my vehicle, I have CHL and I drive to elementary school to pickup my kids, is that legal? PC §46.03
2 things to consider, State and Federal laws.

and Texas law ... You can't go inside a school building even with a CHL but with a CHL you are ok in the parking lot and in the car... and
premises means the building or portion of the building and
PC §46.03. PLACES WEAPONS PROHIBITED. (a) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly possesses or goes with a firearm, illegal knife, club, or prohibited weapon listed in Section 46.05(a):
(1) on the physical premises of a school or educational institution, any grounds or building on which an activity sponsored by a school or educational institution is being conducted, or a passenger transportation vehicle of a school or educational institution, whether the school or educational institution is public or private, unless pursuant to written regulations or written authorization of the institution;
