I agree with GG here (and also like UKs, though I don't own one).
Good on you for thinking about your local laws & campus regulations!! In California, the sgian on campus would be a felony as, despite being a wee thing, it is a "dirk or dagger" as defined by the California Penal Code. Even a locking-blade folder (under a different section) is illegal on campuses up through high-school level, though at college/university level they're legal. (I'm a security director by day but a martial arts & self defense instructor by night; our art uses lots of weapons, so I need to be able to educate my students about what they can and can't get way with.)
Your mileage will no doubt vary in Texas. Personally, I find it a shame that y'all Texans can't even wear the knife that Colonel Bowie had at the Alamo. . .though being able to easily get a permit for a concealed pistol helps to make up for that.
