I also work for the state, which brings up something that kind of torques me off. We won the lawsuit where you can now carry in the capital building (not where I work), but yet as a state employee I can't conceal, yet my employer is the state, who issued my chl.

I also work for the state in Austin. You can carry and would be legal on the bus and on any state owned property. DPS makes the rules for carrying in any state owned building and they say it is legal with an LTC. Here is the rule saying so. The agency makes its own decision on employee rules such as carrying at work. Having it at work may get you fired but would not get you arrested. I suggest keeping an eye out for a job with another agency which does allow carry. The Comptroller's Office allows concealed carry at work with the LTC but does not allow open carry. Their stated reason is to help differentiate between our peace officers, which are all plain clothes, and LTCs.
