Fingers crossed.

OK, I overlooked other than a motor vehicle.

But after decades of confusion, why don't they define traveling?

I still think wrong minded DA's will try to say that both sections have to apply. to still bring the undefined 'traveling' back into it.

Someone please explain:

This would seem to clear up the issue right here:

Sec. 46.02 (a) A person commits an offense if the person [he]
intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or
her person a handgun, illegal knife, or club if the person is not:
(1) on the person's own premises or premises under the
person's control; or
(2) inside of or directly en route to a motor vehicle
that is owned by the person or under the person's control. ...(followed by exceptions)

But then the next section includes this:

(b) Section 46.02 does not apply to a person who:....

(2) is traveling;

Can we hope that the traveling clause can be eliminated before passage?

As long as the ill-defined 'traveling' exists, it will be open to misinterpretation.
