THIS IS WRONG AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS. Church carry is legal.
You must include all of the law...
Sec. 46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER.
(b) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries a handgun under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, regardless of whether the handgun is concealed, on or about the license holder's person:
(6) on the premises of a church, synagogue, or other established place of religious worship.
...
(i) Subsections (b)(4), (b)(5), (b)(6), and (c) do not apply if the actor was not given effective notice under Section 30.06.
So, church concealed carry by LTC is perfectly legal so long as there are no 30.06 signs.
eraozor55's post doesn't say what you think it says. Read it again. I had to as well because his wording is different.

In Texas:
A license holder may carry a handgun anywhere in Texas that is not expressly prohibited by law. Those prohibitions appear in several provisions of the Texas Penal Code.
For example, §46.035, Texas Penal Code prohibits carrying of handguns and other weapons:
...
- On the premises of a church, synagogue, or other place of worship (if effective notice of prohibition is given per Penal Code Chapter 30)"
