I would leave it in the car. Heres how Texas Penal Code defines "premises".....
PC §46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER.
(3) “Premises” means a building or a portion of a building. The term does not include any public or private driveway, street, sidewalk or walkway, parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area.
The jogging track is not part of a driveway, street, sidewalk or walkway, or parking area. So I wouldn't push it. I think the intent of the law is to allow people to transport their handgun and be able to leave it in the vehicle or walk vehicle to vehicle without entering school grounds.
anytime we start thinking like this right here, we start loosing ground....not just on guns, but on homeschooling, on government education teaching stuffs, on insurance, etc.
