We know that many here are in the camp that your pistol is 100% of the time is concealed till the justification of deadly force is warranted.
Many are also in the camp of : "concealed means concealed"

Sec. 46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER.
subsection(h) is it the justification for "concealed means concealed"

(h) It is a defense to prosecution under Subsection (a) that
the actor, at the time of the commission of the offense, displayed
the handgun under circumstances in which the actor would have been
justified in the use of deadly force under Chapter 9.
