According to the DPS instructors both belly band and ankle holsters which attach to your body by "belting" are lawful. One encircles your waist the other encircles your leg.

Ankle and belly band holsters are perfectly lawful, they fall under the category of "belt holster". The belt does not have to be around your waist.

Please cite a legal source that says that it doesn't have to be attached to what is regularly defined as your belt at the waist

The Texas Department of Public Safety.

37. Does Texas law require a specific type of shoulder or belt holster?
No. The law does not specify any particular type of shoulder or belt holster.

Training material related to the use of restraint holsters and methods to ensure the secure carrying of openly carried handguns may be found on Use of Restraint Holsters (PDF).

You're both correct, I phrased it poorly.

Let me restate it properly for clarification.

As long as you are in the vehicle and have an LTC with the gun on your person it does not have to be concealed, we are an open carry state.

Are you going to move the weapon to your holster while the officer is watching? Are you going to leave it where it will be in plain sight once you get out?
Try to think of all possible scenarios.

Easily solved. Present your LTC to the officer with your DL as soon as he/she walks up and tell them you are armed and where the gun is.

As long as you are in the vehicle with the gun it does not have to be concealed, we are an open carry state. You do need to think however about having a lockbox of some sort securely affixed to the vehicle if you're going to be forced to leave the vehicle and the gun therein so you can go into posted locations such as the PO.

Thank you Sir.
Basically it remains two safe places to the gun while I’m in or out the vehicle. Inside the holster or glove compartment for example ? Any other place such as those magnets it will be ilegal correct?

Sorry, when I meant dashboard I mean center console hidden aside my right leg.

Something like this
