Inside a school owned building is ALWAYS off limits.

That's a good central rule. I remember bringing this up several years ago on here, when I was teaching some adult education classes in the evenings (e.g. 7 to 9 p.m.) using a local elementary school building. Even during the summer, when school was out, carrying was a no-no. Made me a little nervous, because it was at night and sometimes we were the ONLY people in the building, completely alone.

Not if you are the Presiding Judge in a Texas election:

I carry in the gym of our local elementary school / voting location while presiding on Election Day.

Very interesting! Thanks!

After the passage of Texas legislation there is a summary of intent. That summary may shed some light on this matter.

I am not a lawyer, but I have been called to jury duty. Most of the jurors I saw selected were middle aged women who would not at all be impressed with a linguistic interpretation argument of "that and meant this" and that "that or meant this" when a firearm was carried in their kid's school. And realistically, even if you won, good legal representation isn't cheap.

...on the premises of a school or postsecondary educational institution, on any grounds or...

I think the "or" is the part you are not considering. I wouldn't want to pay a lawyer to argue the "ands" and "ors" in court
