Cool thing about unemployment is if the company challenges it, then TWC requires them to disclose why you were terminated. I had a friend who went through this recently.

I'm curious as to why it matters to see the change first.

1) They already know (or at least strongly suspect) that the OP has a CHL.

2) Providing a copy of the CHL isn't an admission of carrying in violation of company policy and would therefore be unable to be used as cause for termination.

3) If they want to terminate him, well, this is TX; They don't need a reason for termination.

I guess I just don't see a good reason to have to see the new policy in effect before providing a copy.

By law you aren't required to produce it for anyone except when asked for ID by a peace officer. As far as I am aware there is no law preventing you from providing them a copy. It's entirely up to you.

Personally, if I were in this position, since the company is already aware (or at least strongly suspects) that you have a CHL, I would provide them a photocopy. Especially if they really do change the policy to allow carry in company owned vehicles. It's really no different then them requiring you to provide a copy of your DL in order to drive said company owned vehicle.
