Last year I actually let my license expire. I've been told you shouldn't carry an expired license so I pulled mine out of my wallet. Six mounts later I got pulled over by Plano, PD for a burnt out break light. The officer took my license and insurance and then came back and asked about my CHL. I explained that it was expired and I no longer carried it. In the end he let me off with a warning, but this incident told me they can look up a chl's even with one thats is expired.

On a side note the officer encouraged me to renew it(and I did). He even went as far as to recommend someone.
