'Deadly Conduct' warrrant issued for Deon Anderson

That's what I was referring to as well.

I don't understand.

Hos' quote:

Texas concealed carry law allows for the concealed carry of a handgun on ones’ person and in ones’ vehicle by properly licensed individuals, but it MUST be concealed. Concealment includes being carried in a glove compartment, under a seat, or inside of a case, bag or box and placed on a seat or on the floor of the vehicle. Failure to do so will see the holder of the Texas concealed handgun license in breach of the law governing issuing of the license and is a serious offense.

My quote:

Gov. Perry also signed H.B. 1815, a bill that allows any Texas resident to carry a concealed handgun in the resident's motor vehicle without a CHL or other permit.[211] Chapter 46, Section 2 of the Penal Code states that it is in fact not "Unlawful Carry of a Weapon" for a person to carry a weapon while in a motor vehicle they own or control, or to carry while heading directly from the person's home to that car. However, lawful carry while in a vehicle requires these three critical qualifiers: (1) the gun must be concealed; (2) the carrier cannot be involved in criminal activities; and (3) the carrier cannot be a member of a criminal gang.[212][213]

One specifies "properly licensed Individuals".

The other specifies "any Texas resident to carry a concealed handgun in the resident's motor vehicle without a CHL or other permit."

That's what I meant by conflicting information.

What am I missing?

Gun laws in this country are terribly confusing and often contradictory. Another example, in my state you are allowed to carry an unloaded weapon in your car if you are traveling from your home to a shooting range or from your residence to another bona fide residence or your residence to a public or private exhibition of your collection. Still, if you get pulled over and the cops find the gun, they are going to arrest you and it is up to you prove you were traveling with it lawfully. Moreover, given the anti-gun sentiments around these parts, you are almost certain to be held on bail pending trial. A $10,000 bond (assuming you don't have that much lying around) is a $1,000 premium to a bail bondsmen, which you don't ever see again even if you are exonerated.

This is often how lawyers argue. If both laws are still in effect, then they [the laws] can be argued against each other. Either side would have to prove their point, but either side can also cite laws, or even precedents, as a means to making their argument. It's how law works. It's not always cut and dry. Both of those laws could presently be on the books; both could be legitimate.
