I can't point to it right now, but I do believe the rules for carry at the Capitol (set by the Legislature, not DPS) only recognize Texas issued LTCs. The DPS (at least the times I went) compare the LTC you hand them to the DPS database to make sure it is current. They couldn't do that with every state's license.

I have a liberal friend who did the same thing. He's often up there lobbying for things contrary to the public interest, but he gets in quickly.

This seems odd because you do not need an LTC to used the LTC lane. If you enroll in the Capitol Access Pass (CAP) program, you can show a TX DL or TX state ID and enter. To enroll in the program you have to meet the same eligibility requirements as for a LTC and submit fingerprints, but don't have to go to class or shoot.
