I recall being told that the school is "responsible" for the student once they are on their way to or from a school. This discussion came about several years back when one of the kids was found "loitering" at a convenience store on the way to school. We were called by the school's Officer. Nothing took place as one would assume should certianly be the case, but the discussion was held.

I didnt find any citations from Texas, yet. Here's one from Montana as an example of similar legislation--

Montana law provides that a student is subject to the control and authority of the school once the student leaves her or his house on the way to school.

"A pupil shall: (a) comply with the policies of the trustees and the rules of the school that the pupil attends; (b) pursue the required course of instruction; (c) submit to the authority of the teachers, principal, and district superintendent of the district; and (d) be subject to the control and authority of the teachers, principal, and district superintendent while the pupil is in school or on school premises, on the way to and from school, or during intermission or recess." Mont. Code Ann. §20-5-201(d)
