Stop and Identify

I tend to ask dumb questions so please bear with me.

According to TX PC 38.02:
You must give your Name, Address, and DOB if asked WHILE being arrested or detained.

Therefore, if you are just having a FTF contact with an officer and you are not being detained, you do not have to show ID if requested to do so.

Also....
According to TX GC 411.205:
If an office demands identification, then you need to show them both your drivers license and chl.

So my question is, what is the definition of demand?

If I am having that FTF contact with the officer and I am not being detained, yet they ask for ID...am I now required to show it just because I have my CHL (whereas with out the CHL I would have not had to display any ID at all)? My assumption is since they are asking, they are not demanding it. Correct?

Thanks!
