They cannot get you convicted of a crime for doing it, because 30.06 doesn't apply to MPA carry (in your car). And if you HAVE a LTC you are exempt from 30.05 trespass for having your gun in the car.

2. A property owner can prohibit guns in vehicles on their property if they're not your enployer. Suppose you work in an office building your employer leases and shares with other companies. The building owners and management can ban guns in the parking garage for tenants and guests.

Aside from federal property, are you in violation of any laws by having a gun locked in your car?

None. Even if your company's building owner posts the parking lot, you are not breaking any law by leaving the gun in your car. And YOUR employer is prohibited from firing you for doing it.

That being said, do not allow your anti-gun employer to know you are keeping a firearm in your vehicle, or they can terminate you without cause or reason if they desire.

IANAL

Every employer can generally terminate you without cause, but if there is evidence that the termination is due to your keeping a firearm in your car in the parking lot, then they would be violating the Texas Labor Code 52.061. This may give you a leg up in pursuing a wrongful termination suit. But that doesn't mean they won't do it, so keep it to yourself if you decide to leave your gun in the car.
