(2) inside of or directly en route to a motor vehicle or watercraft that is owned by the person or under the person's control.
(a-1) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a handgun in a motor vehicle or watercraft that is owned by the person or under the person's control at any time in which:

You asked last week.
It was answered last week.
I'm still perplexed why this question appears in "commercial posting & advertising ".

Keep the hand gun out of view and don't commit a felony while traveling with it in the car.

That's legal per the questions you've asked.

You do not "carry" in your privately owned vehicle, it is covered under the Castle Doctrine as being part of your "castle" or home.

Nope, it's under the 2007 Motorist Protection Act. As long as you are legally permitted to own (note: not buy) a firearm and the vehicle belongs to you, then you may have it concealed in your vehicle in Texas.

There is no age restriction listed in that act beyond the one to legally possess a firearm.
