"I was just trying to teach you a lesson" is probably the worst possible excuse he could have written. I would feel compelled to have a face to face conversation with his training officer and his Captain if that's the response I received to a politely worded letter of concern.
A professional officer would have said "I apologize for my lack of knowledge on this particular facet of the law and will do some follow up reading on the statutes as well as have further discussions with my training officer to remedy my knowledge gap. Thank you for your polite and professional manner in handling this issue when I stopped you and also for your similarly polite letter of concern. I look forward to serving you and the citizens of Dallas for many years. Sincerely, Officer Not-so-smart"

Re: Dallas Police Officer threatens to Revoke my license
1. Officer doesn't know the CHL rules and he needs training.knoxknoxrocks wrote:Did I mention he said he could arrest me and take me to jail for not showing him my license?
2. Officer found something disturbing/alarming about you or the stop and he was fishing.
3. Officer was on a power trip and needs to be disciplined.
Either way,
I would never have consented to the search. Especially critical if you feel the officer is acting in any way unprofessionally.
I would make a personal visit to see his Captain.
Sorry you had a bad experience. Don't let it taint your opinion. You'll be better informed next time.
