Question

Is it illegal in texas to posess pure powdered caffeine in a public high school?

Answer 1

Is it considered an illegal substance?  If not, then, no, it's not illegal, but it's probably a really bad idea.  If it resembles another illegal substance, then you've given them probable cause to search you, your locker, car (if it's in the school parking lot), etc.  

I wouldn't possess it at school.  It's just opening a huge can of worms.

Answer 2

Possession of a "look-alike" drug is illegal in most places, including public schools.

If you have white powder in a plastic bag you can probably be charged as such.

Answer 3

Alcohol or cigarettes (for example) are completely legal substances. They are NOT allowed on school property.  

Schools fully have the authority to prohibit certain things on school grounds, whether they are legal or not, in a general sense. So... just because something is "legal", does not give someone the right to have it on school grounds
