I think the issue with "Valid ID" is "Valid for what?". It's valid for whatever some agency, person, or official will accept it for. CHL good for voting, not good for proof of ID for getting a TXDL...which is silly since both issued by the State.

When I went to the Pentagon a few years ago on business the guard demanded two photo ID's issued by a government agency. My DoD contractor ID was expired, so all I had was Texas DL and CHL. They accepted it. I did note to the guard that I wasn't carrying, as you can't carry into the Pentagon unless you're pre-authorized by the DoD or other Feds.
