That was helpful :roll:

So you don't know, like me, if private university police are state sworn peace officers that can enforce all state, local, laws etc.
It depends. Some private universities like Rice have real Peace Officers. Some private schools don't.
TCU, Baylor, SMU, Rice, Hardin, Our Lady of the Lake, Austin College, HBU, University of St. Thomas and the list goes on. I'd venture to say that if a University has a campus police dept. they'll be hiring commissioned officers, just for liability reasons.

Re: private university police - show them chl?

I'd say yes. University Police are commissioned Texas Peace Officers.
GC §411.205. REQUIREMENT TO DISPLAY LICENSE. If a license holder is
carrying a handgun on or about the license holder’s person when a magistrate or
a peace officer demands that the license holder display identification, the license
holder shall display both the license holder’s driver’s license or identification
certificate issued by the department and the license holder’s handgun license.
