Castle doctrine really only applies to your home and while you do have a court recognized significant level of privacy in your own vehicle, it isn't your castle, .I’m not an attorney so I will state what I think is correct.
An 18 year old is allowed to own a pistol. They cannot purchase one but could be gifted one by someone like their father. I would think the castle law would cover the 18 year while transporting a handgun in their car.
Eppd being El Paso PD? They can say what they want, but the law is now a settled matter as far as I am concerned. PDs and officers that get off fucking people over for gun possession laws can choke on a big one.That is 100 percent, exactly my understanding. She's owned several guns since 7 and I left it up to her whether or not she wants to carry her pistol in her car, but I obviously told her I condone it and would if I were her. The EPPD guys I've talked to have all said they'd arrest her. I mentioned everything you typed and they did not care. Well, she's 19 and can make her own decisions so I'm not worried about it, mainly because I'd rather see her in jail than in a box after being found raped and murdered. Thanks for the post.
I have my doubts that any cop would bust a young female adult for carrying a firearm unless she got mixed up in some other offense. They might take it away from her if a situation occurred where they found out she has one, but to arrest for possession of one I find that unlikely. Regardless of what the law is, the benefit of self protection (when it matter most) out weights the risk.

She must be 21.
There are exceptions to the minimum age of 21 in regard to obtaining an LTC.
Am I reading their FAQ wrong? It seems to me that they don't need any other paperwork. Being 18 seems to suffice now. Again, per DPS.Look it up on Texas LTC info.
If I recall correctly, (and I'm paraphrasing) a person 18 or over, but not yet 21, having a restraining/protective type order against a threatening person, can get an LTC.
My explanation is a bit muddled, but when you look it up you'll see the more specific info.
A federal district court has ruled the Department can no longer apply the License to Carry statutory eligibility criteria that prohibit otherwise eligible 18-to-20 year-olds from obtaining the license. Firearms Policy Coalition, Inc. et. al., v. Steven McCraw, et. al., No. 4:21-cv-1245-P. The Department will therefore no longer deny applications solely on the basis that the applicants are 18-to-20 years old.
I was told by a couple of ranges where the classes were taught that regardless of the 'law' they stated they would not be accepting anyone under 21.
