Yes. Section 46.02, Texas Penal Code was amended to allow a person to carry a handgun in a motor vehicle that is owned by the person or under his/her control. The weapon must not be in plain view, and the person must not be engaged in criminal activity other than a Class C misdemeanor that is a violation of a law or ordinance regulating traffic. Finally, a person carrying a handgun in his/her car must not be prohibited by law from possessing a firearm and the person cannot be a member of a criminal street gang as defined in Section 71.01."
"48. What does concealed mean? Can I carry my handgun in plain view?
No. The weapon can't be visible, and its presence can't be discern¬ible through ordinary observation."
"Can I carry a handgun without a license while driving or traveling in a motor vehicle?
Effective September 1, 2007, a person who can legally possess a firearm may possess or carry a handgun in a motor vehicle (including a recreational vehicle with living quarters) that is owned by or under the lawful control of the person. However, the firearm must be concealed, the person may not be engaged in criminal activity, and may not be a member of a “criminal street gang.” The person may also carry the handgun to and from his vehicle without a license. See Texas Penal Code § 46.02 (a). However, DPS recommends that you seek the advice of an attorney with any questions regarding the unlicensed carrying of weapons."

Even though I like the spot you picked, I would honestly say you are dancing on the Line of CONCEAL. Even though YOU cant see it when your sitting in the seat, I would most likely imagine a LEO or ANYONE could in the daylight hours.
