Here is a letter from our attorney general about CHL holders having weapons in your personal vehicle on company property.Scott Farkus wrote:Until very recently, TXDOT did this also (prohibited employee concealed carry at work even though the public couldn't be barred). And, until the law changed last session, their personnel manual prohibited you from leaving firearms in your personal vehicles while parked on TXDOT (i.e. state) property. I'm sure many other state agencies are doing the same and I wish the Lege would do something about it. It probably wouldn't even need the Legislature - I'm fairly certain Perry has ultimate jurisdiction over the personnel policies of most executive branch agencies and could issue a directive yesterday if he wanted.

An employer subject to section 52.061 of the Labor Code may not ban the transport and storage of handguns in locked private vehicles by employees with concealed handgun licenses in employee parking areas by posting the notice authorized by section 30.06 of the Penal Code.
A federally approved facility security plan under either the Maritime Transportation Security Act or the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards is not federal law that would preempt section 52.061 of the Labor Code.
No statute of which we are aware provides a specific remedy for employees whose employers violate section 52.061. And the Legislature has not authorized this office or any other state agency to take corrective action. Despite the lack of a statutory remedy, an aggrieved employee may, depending on the circumstances, have the ability to sue an offending employer under the Uniform Declaratory Judgments Act.
