Just post the dang city.

Really! It's a city, not a state secret!

OK folks, the OP stated he will not post publicly and you can PM him for it. His perogative, so drop it.

Sec. 46.02. UNLAWFUL CARRYING WEAPONS. (a) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a handgun, illegal knife, or club if the person is not:

(1) on the person's own premises or premises under the person's control; or

(2) inside of or directly en route to a motor vehicle that is owned by the person or under the person's control.

(a-1) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a handgun in a motor vehicle that is owned by the person or under the person's control at any time in which:

(1) the handgun is in plain view; or

(2) the person is:

(A) engaged in criminal activity, other than a Class C misdemeanor that is a violation of a law or ordinance regulating traffic;

(B) prohibited by law from possessing a firearm; or

(C) a member of a criminal street gang, as defined by Section 71.01.

If he doesn't fit (2)(A ,B or C) then he had to have gotten him for having it in plain view. I think that is stretching it a bit. Kinda like opening the glove box or console and discovering you have a weapon there.

I too would fight this one. It was not in plain view until the LEO moved the item covering it. The DA might have a different view and drop charges if contacted by a lawyer. If it goes under the county, the DA is Susan Reed
