If you were terminated shortly after it was somehow discovered that you had a gun in your car in the parking lot, then you would likely have a decent case for wrongful termination. If not, why did Texas bother passing the law at all? Regardless of whether Texas (like the other 49 states) is an employment at will state, the legislature has prohibited employers from doing this. While there is not a specific cause of action for a civil suit in the law, it seems that you would be able to make a case based on common law or other statutory basis. Employers, especially larger ones, take a significant risk by openly flouting public policy in their employment practices as it is articulated in state law.
