Welcome to the world of a CHL holder.

Yes, Pennsylvania is recognized by TX, and most LEOs probably don't have the list memorized -- most CHL holders don't either. If you are causing trouble they can certainly call into dispatch and find out. Some LEOs have said publicly that they would accept even a (non recognized) CA license if the person was not causing trouble, being polite, cooperative, etc.

You can also print out and carry a copy of the agreements -- it won't help if the officer is determined to hassle you, but again as long as we are polite and cooperative most will consider the evidence, or at least the desk sergeant will when you get to the station.

Here is the DPS notice of reciprocity (true reciprocity, i.e., both ways):
