Ah, found it.
Sec. 46.02. UNLAWFUL CARRYING WEAPONS.
....
2) is not:
(A) on the person's own premises or premises under the person's control;
.....
(a-2) For purposes of this section, "premises" includes real property and a recreational vehicle that is being used as living quarters, regardless of whether that use is temporary or permanent.
First question, it the room premises under my control?
Second question, does "use is temporary or permanent" apply to both or just an RV? Having "or" instead of "and" would clarify that.
Although if the first applies the second is not necessary.
I guess HB 1856 would clarify this.
I did find this

FIREARMS LAW – WHAT EVERY TEXAS ATTORNEY NEEDS TO KNOW
September 21-22, 2016

9.Hotels, and the hotel exception as a temporary residence Texas case law states that a "residence" includes a temporary residence and includes such places as hotel rooms. A hotel guest who brings a firearm into his room is therefore by definition not committing a criminal offense. If the person must pass through hallways to get to the room the hotel operator’s only recourse if they wish to ban firearms may be to exclude the guest from the premises upon discovery of the firearm.

HB 1856
From FB post by TSRA. I did not think this was an issue. My understanding always was that licensed or not, the hotel/motel could not stop you from having your handgun in your room. IIRC this was discussed in instructor class.
HB 1856 by Rep. Cole Hefner prohibits hotels and motels from adopting policies banning guests who are License To Carry holders from storing a firearm in their rooms, or from transporting firearms directly en route to their room from their vehicle or from a location outside the property. This bill would stop the problem of showing up at your hotel with your LTC and then having no choice but to leave your gun in your car. Currently, many, many hotels don't notify you until you arrive that you cannot carry on their premises when going directly to your room or directly to your car. We SUPPORT this bill.
