Regarding this, "Does anyone have definitive info regarding Texas residents carrying legally and without harrassment from LE with an out of state permit", if you don't act in a manner to get the attention of our LE folk, it is a moot point. Besides, just be sure you stop when you see this sign;

HAh, txinvestigator! Love the sign!
As far as acting in manner that would draw the attention of the LE guys, not likely. I am a pretty quiet guy that minds his own business. But that is very good advice, thank you.
Well, I may be coming down to TX from northern AZ pretty soon to look around San Antonio to scout out a possible relocation, I shall study the TX carry and firearms laws so as to be prepared.
Thank you for the input.
