If I understand you correctly, when I pick up my kid on Friday afternoon at the front door of the school in my car, I can carry?

Yes, per the law, as a Texas resident with a Texas CHL, as long as you don't go inside the building. There are some schools (like Plano where I live) that have invalid 30.06 signs posted. They have the legal wording, and size. The schools can't legally enforce them (but it has yet to be tried and challenged), so will be interesting test case if anyone gets caught carrying.

I was taught in my CHL class that we could not carry at schools. Did I fall asleep in the front-row and the instructor not notice? Or am I simply misreading the posts above?

If you have a Texas CHL, and are a resident of Texas, you may not carry in the buildings, but may carry on the grounds of a school as long as a school sponsored event is not happening on the grounds. If you have a a non-resident permit from another state, then you do NOT get the Gun Free School Zone exemption in your state.
