I need a quick answer to a transporting firearms in Texas question.

I am going to move a lot of my stuff in the morning. Sense I drive a small car I am borrowing my uncles pickup. The problem is that the pickup does not have a tool box so that doesn't leave any good place to put guns. I decided that laying guns in an open truck bed isn't very wise and the fact that I have a bladder the size of a 5 year old girl the best place for them is in the cab. I am thinking of putting my handguns and three rifles behind the seat and I took apart 5 more guns and put them in a big suitcase bag and am thinking of laying it on the floor board on the passengers side.

Would there be any legal troubles in this plan?

Shouldn't be any trouble at all. As far as I know it's completely legal to have a fully loaded long gun or handgun in your vehicle in Texas. You should be fine.

None at all.

Nice.

Now my only problem is paying for the gas. When I filled up the pickup a couple hours ago it cost me 86 dollars.

Just make sure none of the handguns are "in plain view".

I would cover them with a quilt or something simply to avoid unwelcome interest from thieves if you have to leave the truck.

The handguns must be concealed at all times. Other than that, you're A-OK.
