Re: Showing Identification

The legal requirement to display your CHL applies only if you are armed.

Chas.
Tex. Gov't Code §411.205 wrote:Sec.A411.205. DISPLAYING LICENSE; PENALTY. (a)If a
license holder is carrying a handgun
on or about the license
holder ’s person when a magistrate or a peace officer demands that
the license holder display identification, the license holder shall
display both the license holder ’s driver ’s license or
identification certificate issued by the department and the license
holder ’s handgun license. A person who fails or refuses to display
the license and identification as required by this subsection is
202 subject to suspension of the person ’s license as provided by
Section 411.187.
(b)A person commits an offense if the person fails or
refuses to display the license and identification as required by
Subsection (a) after previously having had the person ’s license
suspended for a violation of that subsection. An offense under this
subsection is a Class B misdemeanor.
