I read the law to say that i'm ok with it in my car, but when i exit the vehicle with it, i'm commiting a violation. Other than to and form the car. Any comments on my interpretation?
I do not know what law you are trying to interpret, but ... Definitely not! Read the front of your CHL. It is a Concealed Handgun License. It is not a concealed weapon permit. Nothing in the statues allows you to legally carry anything other than a handgun. INAL, etc.

I am interesed in how the castle doctrine impacts my ablilty to carry in my car if i work On the premisies of an educational Institution. Thanks for any and all opinons.
Welcome to the forum easyridetejas! This is the place to get information. IANAL, but the motorist protection act allows you to carry a concealed handgun in your car. The definition of school premises referred to in PC §46.03 includes only school buildings, not parking lots. So you should be good to go.

It looks like ScottDSL beat me to the punch. :tiphat:
