When someone leaves their wallet, I presume they've left their DL too.

The first words out of your mouth in that situation should be, "Officer, I forgot my wallet, and my DL and Concealed Handgun License are in it, but I can give you my DL number or whatever else you need to confirm my ID."

I'd say it like that, too: "Concealed handgun license", not "CHL", because I'd want to make sure he understood what I was talking about.

Chances are, if he's satisfied with your ID and that you truly forgot your wallet, he's not going to report you to DPS for not carrying your CHL. There are always exceptions, but I believe most police in Texas would chide you to carry your wallet and let it go at that.
