Hi Texans. I may have to go to El Paso in the next few weeks, driving from Arizona. I have an Arizona CCW permit which is by reciprocity recognized by Texas for concealed carry.
I find Texas's gun laws to be a bit odd. In Arizona, open carry is legal for just about anyone who can legally possess a gun, with concealed carry as an "escalated" privilege, which requires the permit.
My question is what qualifies as concealed. In Arizona, I carry what might be called "mostly concealed," meaning, the end of my holster may occasionally become visible in high wind or if I am reaching over my head. I wear an unbuttoned shirt over a t-shirt most of the time. However, none of the actual pistol is ever visible.
Does the display of a part of a holster qualify as open carry, and is therefore proscribed in Texas? I suspect it does, and will probably carry the pistol in a satchel of some sort to be safe.
Thanks.
