And the 30.06 verbiage would be invalid because HISD is a government agency. The Federal GFSZA doesn't come into play unless it was the Feds that arrested her, which I doubt. And if she had a CHL then that wouldn't apply either. MPA protects her from a 46.02 charge.
HISD can fire her, but I don't see how a state criminal charge will stick unless there's more we don't know...or if she has a bad lawyer. The article says she's charged with a 3rd degree felony, which would be under 46.03. Problem is the definition of "premises" doesn't include parking lot.
I believe that I could regularly leave a gun in my car when I visit my daughters' school or have it in the glove box when I pick them up and I wouldn't be breaking the law. Whether I do or not, you'll just have to guess.
