Under TPC 46.035(f)(3) the statute still states that the parking lot is ok. Doesnt SB321 seem to contradict TPC 46.035 in the case of the teacher? It does to me.

It's legal for both of you. However, the school district can fire a teacher for violating school policy. For example, if a school has a dress code for employees, it's not illegal to violate the dress code but they can be fired.

Maybe she should read the statute. Both 30.05 and 30.06 talk about "property" (not "premises") and 30.05 specifically covers forest land and agricultural land, completely sinking her argument that trespassing laws only apply inside buildings.

Maybe she was confused because 46.03 and 46.035 talk about premises.

ETA: sjfcontrol is right about government schools. I'm talking more broadly.
