There are really several possibilities:

1. No one could notice since the exposure is too brief. Nothing happens in this case.

2. Someone could notice and call the police. This yields three further possibilities:
A. The police arrest you for not concealing properly. This is not the law, but some police are not truly aware of the law. You should win in court or through the
DA, but it could be a hassle.
B. The police arrest you for disorderly conduct, displaying a weapon in a manner calculated to alarm. Again, not really the law, but it could happen. It would
also be a little harder for you to win this case since someone must have been alarmed enough to call the police.
C. The police tell you to be more careful after checking your ID and CHL. I think this is mroe likely than the other two possibilities, but I could not guarantee it.

3. Someone notices it, thinks you are getting ready to rob the place, and pulls their own gun and shoots you. Not a very likely possibility in most cases, but it is a chance you need to be aware of. I hope the other CHL's, and those carrying in other ways, would not shoot on sight, but some police chiefs have said that is how their men are trained.


On a more serious note, I will point out that Texas law specifically says that the failure to conceal requires intent, so an accidental display should mean nothing. But there was a story posted here a few weeks ago about one of the members who was arrested when his weapon printed against his shirt.
