Yes, you can carry a firearm in your car in Texas. There are some restrictions, however. For example, you cannot carry a concealed weapon in your car unless you have a valid concealed handgun license (CHL). Additionally, if you are stopped by law enforcement for a traffic violation, the officer may ask to see your CHL and will likely confiscate any firearms in plain view. If you are found to be carrying a concealed weapon without a CHL, you could be charged with a misdemeanor.
