Does that mean someone without a CHL would be committing a felony if they have a gun in their car at a convenience store that includes the parking lot in the TABC premises?
No. Convenience stores are not licensed for on-premise consumption, so the parking lot would not be part of the licensed premise.
I thought drinking in the convenience store parking lot was illegal because it was part of the TABC licensed premises and their license does not allow on-premises consumption.
