LAWYER: Carrying a Gun in Your Car in Texas You Better Know THIS!

You’re driving home in Texas. Traffic’s light. Red and blue lights flash behind you. You’re not worried about speeding. You’re worried because there’s a gun in your car… and one small mistake could get you yanked out at gunpoint, your firearm seized, and you charged with a crime. I’m a criminal defense attorney in Texas, and I’ve watched legal gun owners get arrested during routine traffic stops — not because they’re criminals, but because they don’t know the rules. In this video, I break down the 5 deadly mistakes Texas gun owners make during traffic stops, the exact words you should use when those lights flash, and how to walk away free instead of handcuffed. This isn’t about fear. It’s about staying legal, staying safe, and keeping your gun rights. 🔫 What You’ll Learn in This Video 1️⃣ The “Plain View” Holster Rule (Texas Penal Code 46.02) When a handgun in your car is considered “in plain view” Why a gun between the seat and console can get you arrested Why holster vs. no holster is the difference between legal carry and Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon (UCW) 2️⃣ The Reaching Mistake That Gets Guns Drawn Why reaching into your glove box or console without warning is a disaster The exact script to say before moving your hands How to tell the officer you have a firearm without triggering a panic 3️⃣ Why Saying “I Have a Gun” Is the Wrong Phrase How and when to properly notify in Texas What to say if you have a License to Carry (LTC) What to say if you’re carrying under permitless/constitutional carry 4️⃣ Guns + Alcohol = Charges (Even If You’re “Okay to Drive”) How carrying while “intoxicated” under Texas law is different from DWI Why even a small amount of drinking plus a handgun in your car can destroy your rights When you should leave the gun home or lock it in the trunk 5️⃣ The Federal School Zone Trap How you can be legal under Texas law but in violation of federal law Why your Texas LTC can protect you from federal Gun-Free School Zone issues Why “I didn’t know it was a school zone” isn’t a defense 🚦 The First 30 Seconds Protocol (Do THIS When Lights Flash) When you see red and blue lights: Pull over safely Turn off your engine Turn on your dome light at night Keep both hands visible on the steering wheel Do not reach for anything until you speak When the officer approaches and asks for license/registration, you say: “Officer, before I reach for my documents, I want to inform you I’m a legal gun owner. I have my License to Carry. There is a holstered firearm in my center console. My documents are in my glove box. I will move slowly and announce each action. How would you like me to proceed?” This shows you: ✅ Know the law ✅ Are under control ✅ Are giving the officer control of the scene verbally — not physically 🛡️ The 4 Phrases Every Texas Gun Owner Should Memorize Use these to protect your rights beyond the traffic offense: “Am I free to leave?” “I invoke my right to remain silent.” “I want a lawyer.” “I do not consent to any searches.” These protect your Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendment rights and can be the difference between a ticket and a criminal case. ⚖️ Legal Disclaimer This video is for educational purposes only and is not legal advice.
