After further digging, I was able to find this from the DPS website:
August 30, 1995
Honorable Rodney Ellis
Chair
Intergovernmental Relations
Texas State Senate
P.O. Box 12068
Austin, Texas 78711
Opinion No. DM-363
Re: Whether the recently enacted con-cealed handgun law, Senate Bill 60, particularly the provision to be codified as V.T.C.S. article 4413(29ee), section 32, permits a business owner or operator to post notices prohibiting license holders carrying concealed handguns from the premises of the business, and related questions (RQ-821)........
The term "premises" as used in section 46.035 "means a building or a portion of a building. The term does not include any public or private driveway, street, sidewalk or walkway, parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area."
Does this mean I'm home free?

Weapons @ Work
I just took my CHL on Saturday and was hoping someone could clarify about carrying at work. I work for a private corporation and I understand that in the end, it is ultimately up to the employer. I am going to post our policy on here and hope that someone might be able to tell me anything other than the obvious.
706 CONCEALED WEAPONS IN THE WORKPLACE
XXX recognizes that Texas has enacted a concealed law. However, no employee may carry a concealed handgun on XXX's premises. XXX is committed to providing a safe working environment for all its employees and observing the safety laws of both the federal government and the states where we are located. However, safety is also the responsibility of each employee. Therefore, you are requested to do everything reasonable and necessary to make each of our facilities a safe place in which to work.
In order to continue to provide a safe working environment, all firearms or weapons of any type, concealed or unconcealed, are prohibited on XXX's premises. Any violation of this policy may result in immediate termination of employment. Managemnt determines what is considered "a weapon of any type."
If I am readying this right, I would not be able to store a handgun in my vehicle at work. If anyone has any advice, remarks, etc...I'd be much obliged.
