yes just as long as,
1) your not a convicted felon
2) are not intoxicated while your driving, doing so can turn into DWI/DUI, and felony possession of a firearm
3) have not been deemed a danger to yourself or the public
4) you must be able to prove you are traveling, but define traveling in a car, if your going somewhere in your car your traveling, so this is at the discretion of a police officer if you get pulled over

∙ 14y agoTexas law is somewhat vague in this area. It DOES permit you to have a handgun in a vehicle while "traveling". However, while most of think we know what "traveling" means, it has not been defined in law in Texas. People HAVE been arrested for carrying a firearm in a vehicle. If you have a Concealed Weapons Permit recognized by the State of Texas, then this is no longer an issue. I would urge you to seek information from a source directly familiar with how the Texas laws are interpreted, such as the National Rifle Association, Texas State Rifle Association, or a Texas attorney.
