I get mixed information everywhere i ask, there seems to be alot of pro's here so anyone got any idea?
As TDDude posted, there is no Texas statute that generally prevents the open-carry of a long gun. However, you must be careful how you carry it so as not to violate TPC §42.01(a)(8) [Disorderly Conduct] that makes it an offense to "display a firearm or other deadly weapon in a public place in a manner calculated to alarm; . . ."

Re: Texas law and long guns

Assuming you are not prohibited from possessing firearms, Texas has no restrictions on having a long gun in your car -- loaded or unloaded.
