I'm not being disrespectful, I'm just not wanting to make a big deal out of it...The less I say about the fact, the better...And usually it never becomes an issue...

As far as disarming a CHL, I have five digits on my hand...And I can only count 2-3 times on that hand where I have heard a story about a Texas LEO (from any jurisdiction) doing this...An extremely rare occurance, at least being posted in any forum I have participated in...
If a LEO asks if there are any weapons in the car, are seriously going to start reaching into your pockets for your wallet and CHL? I would recommend telling the LEO before you go reaching for things. Given the LEO has asked that, they are already concerned for whatever reason.

Granted, there have been very few reports of being disarmed as a CHL. Regardless, I was advising of what "could" happen, no matter how remote.

You only have to present CHL when asked BY AN LEO for ID.
I would recommend that if you hear the officer ask if there are any weapons in the car, advise the LEO you are a CHL license holder and are carrying. They might ask for your ID and license, as well as where your firearm is. Depending ont he situation and the LEO, he may disarm you for the duration of the traffic stop.
