§ 46.15. NONAPPLICABILITY. (a) Sections 46.02 and 46.03
do not apply to:
...
(b) Section 46.02 does not apply to a person who:
...
(2) is on the person's own premises or premises under
the person's control ...
For reference:
§ 46.02. UNLAWFUL CARRYING WEAPONS. (a) A person commits
an offense if he intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on
or about his person a handgun, illegal knife, or club.
(b) Except as provided by Subsection (c), an offense under
this section is a Class A misdemeanor.
(c) An offense under this section is a felony of the third
degree if the offense is committed on any premises licensed or
issued a permit by this state for the sale of alcoholic beverages.
Apartments are finicky. While I can walk out into my front yard and have a firearm openly visible to any passersby, an apartment owner is confined only to their four walls. So I wouldn't recommend even stepping out of your door without a coverup.
