MSP430FR2355: pointer assignment warnings and address not assigning

Pointers.....UGH!!!!

I have the following in an h file:

char *pMetaData[] = {"DC_", "ST_", "SP_", "SW_"};

typedef struct
{
    char *pMeta;
    uint16_t *pData;
}toPC;

In main I have the following:

#pragma PERSISTENT(dc_offset)
#pragma location = 0x1800
uint16_t dc_offset = DC_OFFSET_DAC;

toPC *uartTx;

int main(void)
{
    uartTx->pData = &dc_offset;
    uartTx->pMeta = &pMetaData;

Two issues:

#515-D a value of type "char *(*)[4]" cannot be assigned to an entity of type "char *"

First is warning (I have tried a ton of things at this end and seems it only removes the warning if I set in main uartTx->pMeta =  &pMetaData[0][0]).....Why is this in my mind it's simple I need a pointer to point to the 1st array....seems like &pMetaData should work????

Second issue:

If I get rid of the warning and I build the code and look at expressions you can see the assignments are pointing to completely different spaces than the variables I want (see below)....What is a person supposed to do here??  Seems no matter how much I do with pointers they ALWAYS stump me....
