Luckily I have a pro-gun manager, but he has made it clear (off the record) that he can't take a side on the issue or even speak to employees about it (per corporation orders). Our corporation is world wide and is not based in Texas, so there is no clear cut law that applies to all employees. What my manager told me (again, off the record) is to read my employee handbook, travel regulations and any corporate publications concerning employee actions very thoroughly. He said that if it is not prohibited then state law would be my guiding action. Since very few, as a total percentage, of the corporation's employees have company vehicles, the regulations on these are sparse. The boss made it plain that his stand is; research it and 'Don't ask, Don't tell".
Weapons of any sort are prohibited on company property, so obviously we cane not bring them into the office while we are there. But the company vehicles are owned by a leasing company, paid for by the corporation and registered to the individuals. This is a sort of gray area where you have to make your own judgment call. Since the travel regulations do not mention handguns and Texas law is written so that not only in vehicles owned, but in a vehicle under ones control, can one lawfully carry a handgun, I go with the thought that I can legally carry a handgun in my company vehicle.
I know that this is very thin ice I'm skating on and the company could decide that the vehicle is indeed company property resulting in company action against me, but I think that legally, I can carry a handgun in my company vehicle. To the OP i suggest that you read all company/corporate literature you can on your travel policies and make your own decision. If you do bring it to your boss, he may be forced to play it safe and tell you it is forbidden even if this is not strictly true. YMMV
