In Texas, there is no gun registration therefore having a CHL does not "link" a gun to a person.
A gun in the center console, could be stated that it is in the drivers possession, BUT at the same time, is WITHIN reach of the person in the passenger seat, therefore it goes back to the statements before, if drinking, do not have the gun in the car, or best case, put it in the trunk, if no trunk, the hatch of the vehicle in some locked compartment, so it could not be said to be within reach of a person drinking/drunk

1- do you ever drive past a school?
I assume yes, as most people do on a daily basis.
Did you know that without your Texas CHL, having a gun in your car as you drive past, you are breaking federal law by being within 1000 feet of a school?
Do you have kids? Do you ever drop them off or pick them up at school? If so, well then you have no excuse (for the law if ever caught) for having a gun, and would certainly be guilty.

I am not going to answer your question, other than to say, get your CHL, it will give you much more benefit than drawback
If you MAY have a drink, or your G/F may have a drink and someone that has NOT had a drink will not be in control of the vehicle,- well, leave the gun at home
Oh and the biggie _ DONT DRINK AND DRIVE
