First off, it would be a DWI in Texas unless you were a minor, then it is DUI. Second, the flaw in your interpretation is that TPC 49.04 (Driving while intoxicated) states it's a crime to drive while intoxicated 'in a public place', so that specifically EXCLUDES private property. In TPC 46, there is not a delineation between public and private property, so it applies to all property.Longshot38 wrote:Again this has to do with scope of law. Which I have provided all the evidence I need. The most glaring being the DUI example. The TPC does say the it is a crime to drive while intoxicated. However this does not apply to private roadways and property. While I can be arrested for driving down the a public roadway while drunk, I can not be arrested or charged with crime if I drive on the private road in front of my home or in pasture behind my home while intoxicated. Which is the exact point I have been making this entire time. Just because it is in the TPC does not mean it is all encompassing. Rather it is something that has to be taken in context. So back to the original conversation. TPC 46 is designed to allow citizens with a CHL the ability to carry in public areas, private property is allowed to set the rules as they see fit. Hints the 30.06 portion of the law. It allows for those that wish to restrict CHL holders the ability to do so. Which is clear indication that the law was designed in a manner as not to run over the rights of property owners.
So, you can try to pick and choose the parts of the penal code you would LIKE to apply to you, but it won't fly. You can try to be an Internet Lawyer all you want, but you are arguing with a REAL lawyer and a certified law enforcement officer who each have more time doing their jobs than you are old, so I think you need to cease and try to buffalo someone else.
