I intended to post this reference for you Carlson1, but I forgot. I ran across this again today talking to someone about TPC 9.04.

If it's your church and your school, you can give yourself written authorization to carry. Here is the relevant TPC Section:

§ 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;

When you issue the written authorization for yourself, give me one too, just for the heck of it. Actually, I see nothing in the statute that would prevent you authorizing all CHL's.
