The waiter may face a charge of unlawful carry of a weapon, Greene said.
Should have open carried it in a holster, though. He might have to pay a $50 fine.

The waiter was on private property. Unless the owner of the business has a problem with it, there is no problem.

No, you still need a permit for concealed carry in Texas in public places.
It only requires a short training course and then applying and paying for the permit.

I don't know about Tejas, but in Florida and Virginia any employee, like the owner, may carry on the premises without a permit, concealed or unconcealed, with the permission of the owner. Both include all property of the business, including parking lots and easements. (There was a case in Virginia a few years back about a guy busted on the sidewalk while hanging signs on the front door of a furniture store.)
It seems silly for servers to pack heat, but I guess in this case it kept him from being tapped out in a head lock. Not every "defensive use" of a handgun ends in somebody being killed, regardless of what you see on TV.
