Are the effective dates January 1, 2016 in each case?
I don't think so. As I understand it Campus Carry becomes law on Sept 1, 2016, a year from this September. Open carry is lawful on Jan 1, 2016

SECTION 6. Sections 46.03(a) and (c), Penal Code, as
amended by this Act, and Sections 46.03(j) and (k) and 46.035(l),
Penal Code, as added by this Act, apply only to an offense committed
on or after September 1, 2016. An offense committed before
September 1, 2016, is governed by the law in effect when the offense
was committed, and the former law is continued in effect for that
purpose. For purposes of this section, an offense was committed
before September 1, 2016, if any element of the offense occurred
before that date.
SECTION 7. This Act takes effect September 1, 2015.
