Nothing more to go on, no names, cities, or anything else but I thought it interesting enough to post.
From what I can find this case is still in the court of appeals.You just heard about it on the grapevine?
BTW - there have been arrests for OC before, but before the new law.
One of the better known stories is of Army Master Sgt. C.J. Grisham:

I get a broken image in the OP, no link to a story.
I never saw any image, broken or otherwise. Looks like OP might have tried hotlinking a photo from another forum, but the other forum requires login. Maybe download and upload here, assuming no copyright notice present?
Possibly, a first arrest for openly carrying in Texas

Yep, works. I think I heard about this. Not sure if there's an older thread on here about it. I'm afraid the guy may be SOL, as stupid as the law is. One more reason there shouldn't have been holster requirements to begin with!
Personally, though, I have to say I'm a lot more interested in Brett Sanders' case, which may sound kind of jerk-like, but, I think it may have bigger implications.
.....he noticed the firearm.Therefore, the police employee needed to see government paperwork.
There is no requirement to have a license to have a handgun in a vehicle, as long as it's not on a person, so how can he fail the requirements of the license?
I've heard that handguns have to be concealed in a vehicle, not just out in the open, but that's independent of the license to carry, and there has never been a holster requirement for having it in just the vehicle.
So it MIGHT be a legitimate charge (for anti-gun Texas) for having it in the vehicle uncovered, but that would be a charge regardless of the old or new license requirements.
Sooo...what did you do/post on that site 19.9 years ago that got you banned?Sorry, guys, dunno what happened aside from when I went back to log-in again at the original site I got a "banned" notice saying my password was over 4,000 days old (which is funny considering that I had joined about 2 hours before posting). ...
Does the law specifically state that the gun in the holster, belt or shoulder, has to actually be "worn?"Anyone (who may legally possess) can carry in a vehicle without a license provided it remains concealed.
Anyone with a LTC/CHL can carry openly in a vehicle provided it's in a belt or shoulder holster.
So whether he had a license or not, if it was in his cup holder, he committed an offense.
