While you still must be familiar with the carry laws of any state you carry in, having a state issued permit is the best way to be comfortable with traveling while carrying. In addition, you are more likely to understand the Texas laws and less likely to run afoul of them. But there are more reasons than just this.
Concealed carry permit holders are 13.5 times less likely to be arrested for a violent crime than the general population. And they are 13.5 times less likely to be arrested for a non-violent crime than the general population. Having a legitimate permit helps put you in the light of being the good guy if you are ever involved in a defensive shooting.
What are the differences between licensed carry and Constitutional in Texas?

Establishments that use the proper signage have the right insist that only those in possession of a license to carry are welcome to enter when armed.
