The law,as written, will allow CHL holders to carry on campus - not just anybody. To get a Texas CHL you must be 21, undergo a Federal and State background check, attended a 10hr class that covers the CHL law, self defense laws in Texas, and confrontation avoidance. A 50rd shooting test is given and you must make a 70% or higher score.
Because of this high degree of self-selection involved in Concealed Carriers as a demographic - the group has been statistically shown to be much more law abiding than the general public. In fact, some statistics show you are more likely to be wrongfully shot by an officer of the law than someone legally carrying a handgun concealed.
People carrying firearms concealed with a valid permit will not be a problem ON campus just the same as them not being a problem OFF campus.
