They have told me they will change it but will require me to provide a photocopy of my CHL to be kept in my employment file.

Any comments on them asking and keeping a photocopy of my CHL?
Also, the firearm is not licensed, you are. I would suggest the verbiage be 'No unlicensed possesion of a firearm is allowed'.

And, I agree with the others, see the change first and once there, then allow them to see you are legally licensed.
What is to stop them from using your CHL as a reason to fire you? They can't prove you have one until you give them the copy. A lot of this rests on what kind of company you work for, what your personal relationship is like with your managers and/or company owners, and what you know (beyond any reasonable doubt) about their attitude toward guns. If you have no real relationship with them outside of being their employee, you're taking a risk that you can't quantify.
This is Texas where they can fire you for any reason such as having a blue bic pen in your shirt pocket or wearing socks that dont match. There is no justification required to fire anyone, short of proving they were not fired based on race, creed, or other protected EOE regulation.

My employer asks for a copy of my DL for use of a Company vehicle. To me giving a CHL copy to prove I am licensed is along the same lines.
