Pretty much if you're in your car and "traveling", you can have a firearm. Can't carry on your person w/o a CHL. You'll have to check the new statute to see the legal definition of "traveling".

Starting Sept 1, 2006 (i think was the date), Texas changed the law on carrying a handgun in your vehicle. Prior, you had to prove that you were traveling to justify carrying a handgun. A good rule of thumb was crossing 3 county lines. The way the law reads now, you are assumed to be traveling unless proved otherwise (and thus able to carry in your vehicle). Basically, it is very unlikely to be prosecuted under the new law because the burden of proof is on the state. So it is still a little gray, but it is generally agreed that you can carry in your vehicle.
The smartest thing to do would be for your friend to take the CHL class and research the laws. Without a CHL, there is no legal way to carry outside your vehicle. A CHL is not very expensive and there is no question whether or not it is legal.

There really isn't one. You can get in your car and move it across the street and you would be "traveling."
