We do have the 'castle doctrine" in Texas, but the requirements for justified use of deadly force have to be met. For a mere civilian with an LTC, "feeling threatened" by someone hasn't fulfilled justification for the use of deadly force.
In my own home and yard, if something goes bump in the night, or the doorbell rings, I hold my pistol behind my back. Too many trigger happy cops out there who cannot grasp the fact that citizens have a legal right to be armed inside their homes and that fact doesn't justify getting shot by a nervous cop.

She never fired. She was in her own home. She did nothing wrong.
You hiding your gun is simply smart. But not doing that is a.) not illegal and b.) shouldn't be a death sentence
