I think I'd rather them waste their time doing that then going through all the stuff in my car and making a mess, and possibly breaking things. Also, I'm sure they'd throw a bitch fit if they found my handgun in the center console (which is 100% legal in texas as of 2007).

This was turning around under I-10 at Fry rd.
and yeahh he was a thick black guy about 5'8.. kinda older
He talks really tense and won't let you finish a sentence lol
The guy was STANDING underneath the over pass in the middle of the road stopping each car and checking their stickers..

I was pulled over in Katy by a state trooper standing under an over pass.
He was standing there looking for expired inspection/registration.
I was driving my dads F150 and didnt know the inspection was expired so he told me to pull over.
This guy was the biggest jack-*** i have ever encountered, yelled at me for no reason and searched my gym bag dumped everything out including my gum haha even made me show him everything in my wallet..
i was VERY polite until he kept questioning me about drugs and searching the car and even then i just shook my head and laughed and told him he could search w/e he wanted i had nothing to hide..
well he reminded me MANY times that everything was on video, even had me get out of the car and stand infront of his car.
i dnt care to fight it ill just get the inspection done and pay the $10 .. but it would be a hilarious video if i could get my hands on it. Anyone know how w/o a subpoena?

And the CHL only covers handguns. The traveling provision only covers handguns. You can still put your legal longgun - rifle or shotgun - just about anywhere, loaded or unloaded, still under the letter of the law. A gun rack in the back window of your pickup is stupid, but still legal in Texas.P.S. - The Trooper's name is Terry. Don't remember his last name, but I do believe he'd write his own mother a ticket.
P.P.S. - You could try an Open Records Act request. Google Texas Open Records Act, I think there's a form to fill out. But good luck with that.

If you're carrying with a concealed handgun license, yes. If you do not have a CHL and are carrying under the "traveling" provision, then no. It'd still be polite to let them know up front, or at least answer honestly when asked. And the CHL only covers handguns. The traveling provision only covers handguns.

Say if I get pulled over for speeding, the cop asks to search vehicle, I say no, He asks if I have a handgun in the vehicle and I say yes, could he search my vehicle without consent?
This is all assuming, no scent of alcohol or anything else suspicious. Strictly a traffic violation stop.

Handgun, without a CHL.

Just kidding! The point is merely having a gun in your car that is legal isn't any more cause to search than having your work tools, school books, or anything else that's legal in the car. Point #2 - get a CHL. You'll be surprised how many stops end up with warnings, and maybe even a nice chat about your choice of thug-stopper.

Could he? Sure. Would it stand up in court? Big fat maybe. Too many variables, but he'd need to demonstrate probable cause in court. But, by that time, you've already been arrested, car towed, bonded out, got a lawyer, and gone to court. Just how much dope are you carrying? Just kidding!

To OP, sorry for going off topic in your thread.

A subpoena would be the only way you could get the video and it would have to be done through an attorney on justifiable grounds.

I dont have a CHL, donr carer to get one, every time i get stopped i just tell them,"Here is my TDL, insurance car and i have my personal firearm in my console"
They say,"Ok" and take the ID and card and conduct their routine stop.
Now, being as i am a correctional officer, i am sure the ID for the state of texas helps more than i can tell you as it assures them immediately i am on the right side of the law and i do get allot of warnings and the stops usually end up in lengthy conversation over their department as i ask questions to see where i will be working in the near future, reason i dont have a CHL is i dont want to waste the money when i know i will be a police officer soon.

Do they still search your vehicle? I would figure if there was a firearm involved they would take their sweet time searching, call for backup, run the numbers on the gun, etc.

kind of funny that i've NEVER been asked if they can search my vehicle. i've never had issues with LEO's, either. been pulled over many times, and the only tickets i've ever gotten were fix it tickets (registration, etc). hell i even got pulled over once on i45 for a trooper immediately after a roll race on my old gsxr1k with another r1, we were doing well over 150+ when we passed him.. he turned on the lights and both of us pulled over. he looked shocked when he walked up to us like WTF did you guys pull over for?? ended up giving both of us warnings, and sent us on our merry way.
