If you do not have a penalty for not showing it, you would normally not have a penalty for not having it with you (like a DL when driving). As long as you do have one and it is valid at the time of the stop, you should be good to go. I did point out the potential flaw, but I really think the court would find you not guilty of unlawfully carrying for having a CHL and not having it with you.
A LEO buddy of mine warned me not to test this. If a CHL fails to produce to him, he was told to book them with UCW. He said the Harris County DA will take the charge, and most judges here would likely convict you. As soon as you have that misdemeanor, your CHL will be revoked, Just new ways to jack up non-compliant CHLs.
