It may be illegal.

GC §411.171. DEFINITIONS. In this subchapter:
(1) Repealed by Acts 2013, 83rd Leg., R.S., Ch. 1302, Sec. 14(1), eff. June 14,
2013.
(2) “Chemically dependent person” means a person who frequently or
repeatedly becomes intoxicated by excessive indulgence in alcohol or uses
controlled substances or dangerous drugs so as to acquire a fixed habit and an
involuntary tendency to become intoxicated or use those substances as often
as the opportunity is presented.
(3) “Concealed handgun” means a handgun, the presence of which is not
openly discernible to the ordinary observation of a reasonable person.

Bold emphasis is mine. Just because it is covered doesn't mean it is concealed. I had a friend that carried like this and the first time I witnessed his carry method I pointed it out to him. Prior to that incident, neither of us knew the other had a CHL and had never discussed firearms. Since he was a friend it was easy to say something. If he were a stranger, I probably wouldn't have said anything and just realized how much of a failure he was at concealment.
