Re: Lost My CHL...

Actually, yes, you can technically open carry from your home to your car, and back, legally, even if your 'home' is an apartment building.

Let me find the statute...
Sec. 46.02. UNLAWFUL CARRYING WEAPONS. (a) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a handgun, illegal knife, or club if the person is not:

(1) on the person's own premises or premises under the person's control; or

(2) inside of or directly en route to a motor vehicle that is owned by the person or under the person's control.
Walking from your apartment to your car meets the requirements above.
However, it seems that walking FROM your car, to your house is not.
