I found your statement: "CHL is not a valid ID in Texas. It is only considered a valid secondary method of identification." very interesting and informative.
Just last week I traveled from Dulles IAP to ABIA. I showed the TSA agent at Dulles my CHL as ID. He seemed a bit confused and when I said, oh, thats my CHL I'll give you my DL, he said, no, this is good. And passed me through. Similar has happened at Detroit=Wayne, Denver, and even NY JFK. But at ABIA if I do it, they say, not valid. Need your DL.
Strange.
If you go to the TSA website, they specifically state that that
"Note: a weapon permit is not an acceptable form of identification."
