Concealed, as I understand it, is covered, not showing. failure to conceal is to have the weapon show, unholster it, pull it out, etc, but the weapon itself has to be seen.
If you say you have a gun, pat the place where it's at, and I can see the outline when you've patted it, that falls into my book as _intentionally_ failing to conceal. It's the act of drawing attention to the fact that you have one and where it's at.

Perhaps a jury would disagree, but I think that dum-dum needs a trial of his peers to teach him a permanently sobering lesson.

That's not "concealed" and it's against the law. Says right here:

§ 46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN[0] BY LICENSE HOLDER. (a) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder carries a handgun on or about the license holder's person under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, and intentionally fails to conceal the handgun.

Drinks or not, if somebody called 911, he would get a trip to the "Free Photos and Overnight Stay" place, and would likely permanently lose his privilege to carry.

Too bad that didn't happen.
