I think you may all have missed one point. It may not be a new charge. Every time you go to DPS to renew your license, they run a TCIC check and will arrest for any warrants. Given that it is not illegal (in most cases) to carry into the licensing station (government property, no meeting, no courthouse), I naturally assumed it was a warrant arrest. This would go along with his not having any details, since the officer would have none to give him and the OP may not remember or know the original incident where an officer filed a charge on him.

JHutto, my first advice is to get a good lawyer. Then find out what the case is based on and work with the lawyer as needed. On the carrying, you have a valid CHL until you receive notice from DPS that it has been suspended. I am assuming your license address is the correct one, so that you will receive the notice of the CHL being suspended if they do. I do know that a drivers license can be suspended and the suspension notice mailed to your house, and if you never receive it makes no difference to the charge of driving while it is suspended. It has provided a decent defense where most juries will let you go, but the law does not recognize it that way.
