I am not a lawyer, but I am sure that I know the answer.
The answer is NO. You are not in violation. It is a cased-weapon that you just purchased.
Assuming the store sold you the handgun, you have a pretty clear claim to "effective consent" of the owner to be there with the handgun you just purchased.
PC §30.06. TRESPASS BY HOLDER OF LICENSE TO CARRY
CONCEALED HANDGUN. (a) A license holder commits an offense if
the license holder:
(1) carries a handgun under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter
411, Government Code, on property of another without effective
consent;
A better question is...if you don't have a CHL, are you in violation of 46.02 Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon?
