If any one can give me an answer it would be of great appreciation.
Thanks in Advance
Here's the answer straight from the Texas Penal Code.
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...
Sec. 46.02...
(a-2) For purposes of this section,
"premises" includes real property and a recreational vehicle that is being used as living quarters, regardless of whether that use is temporary or permanent. In this subsection, "recreational vehicle" means a motor vehicle primarily designed as temporary living quarters or a vehicle that contains temporary living quarters and is designed to be towed by a motor vehicle. The term includes a travel trailer, camping trailer, truck camper, motor home, and horse trailer with living quarters.
"Real property" is a term that refers to all of the land within the boundaries and everything attached to it (buildings). IANAL
My thoughts, too!
