Thanks Steve for the thorough explanation. I'd never heard of it before so it was a surprise to me. This REALLY makes it seem like open carry is just a small edit of the code away instead of a huge modification.

I travel quite often by road to visit my mom in Seguin and stay overnight most of the time, so I could try it as soon as my first check from the Texas Lottery comes in .

Care to elaborate? I did some quick googling and apparently if you're travelling for an overnight stay you can open carry? That just doesn't sound right.....I like the idea, but it doesn't sound like a LEO will let you show him your luggage saying "See officer, I'm travelling for an overnight stay two counties over, I can open carry while I fill up my car's gas tank!". Maybe it's another one of those "it's legal, but I wouldn't try it" things, like open carrying while you're cutting grass on your property.....in the middle of Austin , but it's the first I've heard of it.
