    Sorry for the vague title guys. CHL holder gets in an accident. Gun is in bag in back seat of vehicle. Suspected dui, blood drawn but no arrest. Released but told "we'll wait for the blood results to talk about the weapons charge". Or something to that effect. He is going to consult an attorney of course but I was just wondering what charges he might face?

    My guess is this:


    Sec. 46.02. UNLAWFUL CARRYING WEAPONS.

    (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:

    (2) the person is:
    (A) engaged in criminal activity, other than a Class C misdemeanor that is a violation of a law or ordinance regulating traffic or boating;

    DWI starts at a Class B misdemeanor so that would qualify I would imagine.
