Incorrect. A pistol in your vehicle must be concealed.

Be careful in City of Houston. Absent a CCL, LEO in several areas of town have been instructed to arrest anyone with firearm in their vehicle even though it's not against the law...to let the court make the decision.

Just don't get pulled over, be respectful, keep your weapon concealed and don't disclose that you have a weapon.

Texas Motorist Protection Act (MPA) - HB 1815. Approved and signed into law in 2007

Affected the Penal Code, allowing citizens to carry a handgun "inside of or directly en route to a motor vehicle that is owned by the person or under the person's control", providing:

-the handgun remains concealed
-the person is not engaged in criminal activity, other than a Class C misdemeanor that is a violation of a law or ordinance regulating traffic
-the person is not prohibited by law from possessing a firearm
-the person is not a member of a criminal street gang
