Are you going to move the weapon to your holster while the officer is watching? Are you going to leave it where it will be in plain sight once you get out?
Try to think of all possible scenarios.

Easily solved. Present your LTC to the officer with your DL as soon as he/she walks up and tell them you are armed and where the gun is.

As long as you are in the vehicle with the gun it does not have to be concealed, we are an open carry state. You do need to think however about having a lockbox of some sort securely affixed to the vehicle if you're going to be forced to leave the vehicle and the gun therein so you can go into posted locations such as the PO.

This is incorrect. If openly carrying, it must be in a belt or shoulder holster. Otherwise you must conceal it, even in a vehicle.

That's not completely true. If you mount the magnet someplace where the handgun is visible, that's not legal in Texas. However, if you mount the magnet under your seat, that would be concealed and legal. If you mount a magnet inside your armrest storage, that would be concealed and legal. There's nothing illegal about the magnets as long as the handgun isn't visible. I don't like the magnets for other reasons, but that's a personal choice.

So what's the point of having a magnet if your going to put it under your seat or armrest storage? You might as well conceal it in a peanut butter & jelly sandwich.
