A little info but not from a state source. This info has been in the public while the rules were being set up.

http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/politics/entries/2010/05/21/capitol_checkpoints_open_guns.html

...State employees can walk around the checkpoint if they show a valid state ID, as can Texans who carry a concealed pistol with a permit.

It’s perhaps the only public building in the country where pistol-packing average Joes can walk through security undeterred.

The express lane for gun owners is clearly marked: “CHL Holders.”....

Officials have justified their decision this way: CHL permit holders are required to undergo training and pass a background check, steps that will weed out potential nuts and terrorists....
