If HB1815 (Motorist Protection Act) passes this session, then you will be able to have a handgun in your truck without having to get into the traveling issue. This Bill redefines TPC §46.02 such that having a handgun in your vehicle is no longer a violation. HB1815 does create a violation for having a handgun in your vehicle if 1) the handgun is in plain view; 2) if the person is engaged in criminal activity, other than Class C traffic violations; 3) the person is prohibited from possessing firearms under state or federal law; or 4) the person is a member of a criminal street gang as defined in the Penal Code.

This bill had no opposition in public hearings and I believe I remember HPD signing in in support, but I may be wrong about that part.
